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…

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…
