Abstract
We study unit disk visibility graphs, where the visibility relation between a pair of geometric entities is defined by not only obstacles, but also the distance between them. That is, two entities are not mutually visible if they are too far apart, regardless of having an obstacle between them. This particular graph class models real world scenarios more accurately compared to the conventional visibility graphs. We first define and classify the unit disk visibility graphs, and then show that the 3-coloring problem is NP-complete when unit disk visibility model is used for a set of line segments (which applies to a set of points) and for a polygon with holes.
