An imbedding of a topological polyhedron (cf. Polyhedron, abstract) $P$ in the space $\mathbf R^n$ such that there exists a homeomorphism of $\mathbf R^n$ onto itself which maps $P$ into a rectangular polyhedron. The polyhedron $P$ is called tame also. If $P$ is not tame, it is called wild, and the imbedding — a wild imbedding.
