Guarding thin orthogonal polygons is hard

AP Tomás - … Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory, 2013 - Springer
An orthogonal polygon of P is called “thin” if the dual graph of the partition obtained by
extending all edges of P towards its interior until they hit the boundary is a tree. We show …

On the complexity of half-guarding monotone polygons

HM Hillberg, E Krohn, A Pahlow - Latin American Symposium on …, 2022 - Springer
We consider a variant of the art gallery problem where all guards are limited to seeing to the
right inside a monotone polygon. We call such guards: half-guards. We provide a polynomial …

APX-Hardness of the Minimum Vision Points Problem

M Chaturvedi, BJ Nilsson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.04488, 2022 - arxiv.org
Placing a minimum number of guards on a given watchman route in a polygonal domain is
called the {\em minimum vision points problem}. We prove that finding the minimum number …
