Clear visibility and unions of two starshaped sets in the plane

Marilyn Breen

Vol. 115 (1984), No. 2, 267–275
Abstract

Let S be a compact set in R2. Assume that for every finite set F in bdry S there exist points s and t (depending on F) such that every point of F is clearly visible via S from at least one of s or t. Then S is a union of two starshaped sets. If “clearly visible” is replaced by the weaker term “visible”, then the result fails.
