Recently, a natural variant of the Art Gallery problem, known as the \emph{Contiguous Art Gallery problem} was proposed. Given a simple polygon $P$, the goal is to partition its boundary $\partial P$ into the smallest number of contiguous…

We consider guarding classes of simple polygons using mobile guards (polygon edges and diagonals) under the constraint that no two guards may see each other. In contrast to most other art gallery problems, existence is the primary question:…

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…

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…

We show that the strong odd chromatic number on any proper minor-closed graph class is bounded by a constant. We almost determine the smallest such constant for outerplanar graphs.

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…

We tackle the Art Gallery Problem and the Searchlight Scheduling Problem in 3-dimensional polyhedral environments, putting special emphasis on edge guards and orthogonal polyhedra.

We present an optimal, linear-time algorithm for the following version of terrain guarding: given a 1.5D terrain and a horizontal line, place the minimum number of guards on the line to see all of the terrain. We prove that the cardinality…

We consider two graph colouring problems in which edges at distance at most $t$ are given distinct colours, for some fixed positive integer $t$. We obtain two upper bounds for the distance-$t$ chromatic index, the least number of colours…

Let an orthogonal polyhedron be the union of a finite set of boxes in $\mathbb R^3$ (i.e., cuboids with edges parallel to the coordinate axes), whose surface is a connected 2-manifold. We study the NP-complete problem of guarding a…

Consider a sliding camera that travels back and forth along an orthogonal line segment $s$ inside an orthogonal polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices. The camera can see a point $p$ inside $P$ if and only if there exists a line segment containing…

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…

A strong edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring in which every color class is an induced matching. The strong chromatic index $\chi_s'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors in a strong edge coloring of $G$. Let…
