Abstract
We show that the chord-length distribution function of any bounded polyhedron has an elementary algebraic form, the expression of which changes in the different subdomains of the -range. In each of these, the expression only involves, as transcendental contributions, inverse trigonometric functions of argument equal to , \, being the square root of a 2nd-degree -polynomial and a rational function. Besides, as approaches one boundary point () of each -subdomain, the derivative of can only show singularities of the forms and with and appropriate positive integers. Finally, the explicit algebraic expressions of the primitives are also reported.
