Abstract

This paper extends and slightly improves existing piecewise linear radial engulfing theorems for compact polyhedra. For noncompact polyhedra, an engulfing theorem similar to the compact engulfing theorems of Stallings is proved. Two radial engulfing theorems for noncompact polyhedra similar to the compact radial engulfing theorems of Bing are proved.
