We study the Dispersive Art Gallery Problem with vertex guards: Given a polygon $\mathcal{P}$, with pairwise geodesic Euclidean vertex distance of at least $1$, and a rational number $\ell$; decide whether there is a set of vertex guards…

We consider a generalization of the classical Art Gallery Problem, where instead of a light source, the guards, called $k$-transmitters, model a wireless device with a signal that can pass through at most $k$ walls. We show it is NP-hard to…

Given a polygon $H$ in the plane, the art gallery problem calls for fining the smallest set of points in $H$ from which every other point in $H$ is seen. We give a deterministic algorithm that, given any polygon $H$ with $h$ holes, $n$…

In this letter we study the NP-complete vertex cover problem on finite connectivity random graphs. When the allowed size of the cover set is decreased, a discontinuous transition in solvability and typical-case complexity occurs. This…

We provide a spectrum of results for the Universal Guard Problem, in which one is to obtain a small set of points ("guards") that are "universal" in their ability to guard any of a set of possible polygonal domains in the plane. We give…

In the present paper, complete designs of graphs are considered. The notion of (regular) sampling is introduced and analyzed in detail, showing that the trivial necessary condition for its existence is actually sufficient. Some examples are…

We study the problem of colouring the vertices of a polygon, such that every viewer in it can see a unique colour. The goal is to minimise the number of colours used. This is also known as the conflict-free chromatic guarding problem with…

Groups defined by presentations for which the components of the corresponding star graph are the incidence graphs of generalized polygons are of interest as they are small cancellation groups that - via results of Edjvet and Vdovina - are…

In the original Art Gallery Problem (AGP), one seeks the minimum number of guards required to cover a polygon $P$. We consider the Chromatic AGP (CAGP), where the guards are colored. As long as $P$ is completely covered, the number of…

The theory of linear transports along paths in vector bundles, generalizing the parallel transports generated by linear connections, is developed. The normal frames for them are defined as ones in which their matrices are the identity…

Quantitative analysis of visual arts has recently expanded to encompass a more extensive array of artworks due to the availability of large-scale digitized art collections. Consistent with formal analyses by art historians, many of these…

We devise a polynomial-time algorithm for partitioning a simple polygon $P$ into a minimum number of star-shaped polygons. The question of whether such an algorithm exists has been open for more than four decades [Avis and Toussaint,…

We study the problem of placing a set $T$ of broadcast towers in a simple polygon $P$ in order for any point to locate itself in the interior of $P$. Let $V(p)$ denote the visibility polygon of a point $p$, as the set of all points $q \in…

In this paper we investigate the question of normality for special monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We first include some expository sections that give the basics on the integral closure of a ideal, the Rees algebra on an…

A polyhedron in Euclidean 3-space is called a regular polyhedron of index 2 if it is combinatorially regular but "fails geometric regularity by a factor of 2"; its combinatorial automorphism group is flag-transitive but its geometric…

A frame is an overcomplete set that can represent vectors(signals) faithfully and stably. Two frames are equivalent if signals can be essentially represented in the same way, which means two frames differ by a permutation, sign change or…

In 1999, De Simone and K\"{o}rner conjectured that every graph without induced $C_5,C_7,\overline{C}_7$ contains a clique cover $\mathcal C$ and a stable set cover $\mathcal I$ such that every clique in $\mathcal C$ and every stable set in…
