On weak lattice point visibility

Neil R. Nicholson and Rebecca Rachan

Vol. 9 (2016), No. 3, 411–414
Abstract

We say that a point Q in a specific rectangular array of lattice points is weakly visible from a lattice point P not in the array if no point in the array other than Q lies on the line connecting the external point P to Q. A necessary and sufficient condition for determining if a point in the array is weakly viewable by the external point, as well as the number of points that are weakly visible from the external point, is determined.
