The Art Gallery Problem (AGP) is one of the classical problems in computational geometry. It asks for the minimum number of guards required to achieve visibility coverage of a given polygon. The AGP is well-known to be NP-hard even in…

The boundary-boundary art-gallery problem asks, given a polygon $P$ representing an art-gallery, for a minimal set of guards that can see the entire boundary of $P$ (the wall of the art gallery), where the guards must be placed on the…

We prove that the art gallery problem is equivalent under polynomial time reductions to deciding whether a system of polynomial equations over the real numbers has a solution. The art gallery problem is a classical problem in computational…

We show the following problems are in $\textsf{P}$: 1. The contiguous art gallery problem -- a variation of the art gallery problem where each guard can protect a contiguous interval along the boundary of a simple polygon. This was posed at…

Given a simple polygon $\cal P$, in the Art Gallery problem the goal is to find the minimum number of guards needed to cover the entire $\cal P$, where a guard is a point and can see another point $q$ when $\overline{pq}$ does not cross the…

We resolve the complexity of the point-boundary variant of the art gallery problem, showing that it is $\exists\mathbb{R}$-complete, meaning that it is equivalent under polynomial time reductions to deciding whether a system of polynomial…

Art Gallery 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 an integer k; the task is to decide if at most k guards can be…

Given a simple polygon $\mathcal{P}$ on $n$ vertices, two points $x,y$ in $\mathcal{P}$ are said to be visible to each other if the line segment between $x$ and $y$ is contained in $\mathcal{P}$. The Point Guard Art Gallery problem asks for…

We investigate the Dispersive Art Gallery Problem with vertex guards and rectangular visibility ($r$-visibility) for a class of orthogonal polygons that reflect the properties of real-world floor plans: these office-like polygons consist of…

We introduce a new variant of the art gallery problem that comes from safety issues. In this variant we are not interested in guard sets of smallest cardinality, but in guard sets with largest possible distances between these guards. To the…

One of the earliest and most well known problems in computational geometry is the so-called art gallery problem. The goal is to compute the minimum possible number guards placed on the vertices of a simple polygon in such a way that they…

In the problem "Localization and trilateration with the minimum number of landmarks", we faced the 3-Guard and classic Art Gallery Problems. The goal of the art gallery problem is to find the minimum number of guards within a simple polygon…

Given a closed simple polygon $P$, we say two points $p,q$ see each other if the segment $pq$ is fully contained in $P$. The art gallery problem seeks a minimum size set $G\subset P$ of guards that sees $P$ completely. The only currently…

In this paper, we study the Contiguous Art Gallery Problem, introduced by Thomas C. Shermer at the 2024 Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry, a variant of the classical art gallery problem from 1973 by Victor Klee. In the…

The chosen tool of this thesis is an extremal type approach. The lesson drawn by the theorems proved in the thesis is that surprisingly small compromise is necessary on the efficacy of the solutions to make the approach work. The problems…

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 $P$ is seen by a guard in $G$. Formally, a guard $g$ sees a point $p…

Art Gallery Localization (AGL) is the problem of placing a set $T$ of broadcast towers in a simple polygon $P$ in order for a point to locate itself in the interior. For any point $p \in P$: for each tower $t \in T \cap V(p)$ (where $V(p)$…

The art gallery problem enquires about the least number of guards that are sufficient to ensure that an art gallery, represented by a polygon $P$, is fully guarded. In 1998, the problems of finding the minimum number of point guards, vertex…
