We prove that, given a polyhedron $\mathcal P$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, every point in $\mathbb R^3$ that does not see any vertex of $\mathcal P$ must see eight or more edges of $\mathcal P$, and this bound is tight. More generally, this remains true if $\mathcal P$ is any finite arrangement of internally disjoint polygons in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also prove that every point in $\mathbb{R}^3$ can see six or more edges of $\mathcal{P}$ (possibly only the endpoints of some these edges) and every point in the interior of $\mathcal{P}$ can see a positive portion of at least six edges of $\mathcal{P}$. These bounds are also tight.
翻译:我们证明,给定 $\mathbb{R}^3$ 中的一个多面体 $\mathcal P$,$\mathbb R^3$ 中任何看不到 $\mathcal P$ 的任意顶点的点,必然能看到 $\mathcal P$ 的八条或更多条边,且这一界是紧的。更一般地,若 $\mathcal P$ 是 $\mathbb{R}^3$ 中内部不相交多边形的任意有限排列,该结论仍然成立。我们还证明,$\mathbb{R}^3$ 中的每个点至少能看到 $\mathcal{P}$ 的六条边(可能仅能看到其中某些边的端点),且 $\mathcal{P}$ 内部的每个点至少能看到 $\mathcal{P}$ 中六条边的正部分。这些界同样是紧的。
