Abstract

A specific rectangular array of lattice points is investigated. We say that the array is weakly visible from a lattice point not in the array if no point in the array lies on the line connecting the external point to any other point in the array. A lower bound is found for the distance from a weakly viewing point to the array, and a point of minimal distance is determined for arrays of a specific size. A secondary type of visibility is also discussed, and a closest point viewing the array in this style is completely determined.
