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…
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…
This paper focuses on a variation of the Art Gallery problem that considers open edge guards and open mobile guards. A mobile guard can be placed on edges and diagonals of a polygon, and the "open" prefix means that the endpoints of such…
The contiguous art gallery problem was introduced at SoCG'25 in a merged paper that combined three simultaneous results, each achieving a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem. This problem is a variant of the classical art gallery…
The art gallery problem enquires about the least number of guards sufficient to ensure that an art gallery, represented by a simple polygon $P$, is fully guarded. Most standard versions of this problem are known to be NP-hard. In 1987,…
We investigate a variation of the art gallery problem in which a team of mobile guards tries to track an unpredictable intruder in a simply-connected polygonal environment. In this work, we use the deployment strategy for diagonal guards…
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…
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…
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…
The purpose of the current study is to investigate a special case of art gallery problem, namely Sculpture Garden Problem. In the said problem, for a given polygon $P$, the ultimate goal is to place the minimum number of guards to define…
We study the problem of guarding the boundary of a simple polygon with a minimum number of guards such that each guard covers a contiguous portion of the boundary. First, we present a simple greedy algorithm for this problem that returns a…
We study several basic problems about colouring the $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of an arbitrary graph $G$, focusing primarily on the chromatic number and colouring number of $G_p$. In particular, we show that there exist infinitely many…
A proper vertex coloring of a connected graph $G$ is called an odd coloring if, for every vertex $v$ in $G$, there exists a color that appears odd number of times in the open neighborhood of $v$. The minimum number of colors required to…
The paper considers the NP-hard graph vertex coloring problem, which differs from traditional problems in which it is required to color vertices with a given (or minimal) number of colors so that adjacent vertices have different colors. In…
The list coloring problem is a variation of the classical vertex coloring problem, extensively studied in recent years, where each vertex has a restricted list of allowed colors, and having some variations as the $(\gamma,\mu)$-coloring,…
The chromatic polynomial $\pi_{G}(k)$ of a graph $G$ can be viewed as counting the number of vertices in a family of coloring graphs $\mathcal C_k(G)$ associated with (proper) $k$-colorings of $G$ as a function of the number of colors $k$.…
A domination coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper vertex coloring of $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ dominates at least one color class, and each color class is dominated by at least one vertex. The minimum number of colors among all…
A well-studied coloring problem is to assign colors to the edges of a graph $G$ so that, for every pair of vertices, all edges of at least one shortest path between them receive different colors. The minimum number of colors necessary in…
Graph colorings is a fundamental topic in graph theory that require an assignment of labels (or colors) to vertices or edges subject to various constraints. We focus on the harmonious coloring of a graph, which is a proper vertex coloring…
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…
