Opposing Half Guards

Abstract

We study the art gallery problem for opposing half guards: guards that can either see to their left or to their right only. We present art gallery theorems, show that the location of half guards in 2-guardable polygons is not restricted to extensions, show that the problem is NP-hard in monotone polygons, and present approximation algorithms for spiral and staircase polygons.
