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…
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 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…
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 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…
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,…
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…
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 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 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…
The Art Gallery Problem is one of the most well-known problems in Computational Geometry, with a rich history in the study of algorithms, complexity, and variants. Recently there has been a surge in experimental work on the problem. In this…
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…
The Art Gallery Problem (AGP) asks for placing a minimum number of stationary guards in a polygonal region P, such that all points in P are guarded. The problem is known to be NP-hard, and its inherent continuous structure (with both the…
We study the classical Art Gallery Problem first proposed by Klee in 1973 from a mobile multi-agents perspective. Specifically, we require an optimally small number of agents (also called guards) to navigate and position themselves in the…
Victor Klee introduce the art gallery problem during a conference in Stanford in August 1976 with that question: "How many guards are required to guard an art gallery?" In 1987, Ghosh provided an approximation algorithm for vertex guards…
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…

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…
