Abstract. Dijkstra, Goodsell, and Wright have shown that if a nonconvex compactum in R n has the property that its projection onto all k-dimensional planes is convex, then the compactum contains a topological copy of the (k − 1)-sphere. This theorem was extended over the class of unbounded closed sets by Barov, Cobb, and Dijkstra. We show that the results in these two papers remain valid under the much weaker assumption that the collection of projection directions has a nonempty interior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
