A practical algorithm with performance guarantees for the art gallery problem

S Hengeveld, T Miltzow - Discrete Mathematics & …, 2024 - dmtcs.episciences.org
A chord is a straight line within a polygon connecting two non-adjacent vertices. Given such
a chord c of a polygon, we denote by n (c) the number of vertices visible from c. The chord …

Terrain-like graphs: PTASs for guarding weakly-visible polygons and terrains

S Ashur, O Filtser, MJ Katz, R Saban - Computational Geometry, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract A graph G=(V, E) is terrain-like if one can assign a unique integer from the range
[1..| V|] to each vertex in V, such that, if both {i, k} and {j, l} are in E, for any i< j< k< l, then so is …

The parameterized complexity of guarding almost convex polygons

A Agrawal, KVK Knudsen, D Lokshtanov… - Discrete & …, 2024 - Springer
The ArtGallery problem is a fundamental visibility problem in Computational Geometry. The
input consists of a simple polygon P,(possibly infinite) sets G and C of points within P, and …

Smoothed analysis of the art gallery problem

In the Art Gallery Problem we are given a polygon $ P\subset [0, L]^ 2$ on $ n $ vertices and
a number $ k $. We want to find a guard set $ G $ of size $ k $, such that each point in $ P …

A constant-factor approximation algorithm for vertex guarding a WV-polygon

Orthogonal terrain guarding is NP-complete

É Bonnet, P Giannopoulos - arxiv preprint arxiv:1710.00386, 2017 - arxiv.org
A terrain is an x-monotone polygonal curve, ie, successive vertices have increasing x-
