Abstract: this paper we focus on weak external visibility of a polygon. This topic is as yet quite unexplored
compared to its internal counterpart. Toussaint and Avis [TA] considered the problem of determining
if a polygon is weakly externally visible. (Since we will restrict ourselves hereafter to notions
of visibility that are both weak and external we will drop these adjectives for the sake of less cumbersome
terminology). A polygon P is edge-visible if for each point x P there exists a ray that... (Update)
