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 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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

We prove that any compact semi-algebraic set is homeomorphic to the solution space of some art gallery problem. Previous works have established similar universality theorems, but holding only up to homotopy equivalence, rather than…

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…

This paper addresses the problem of tracking mobile intruders in a polygonal environment. We assume that a team of diagonal guards is deployed inside the polygon to provide mobile coverage. First, we formulate the problem of tracking a…

We study the problem of colouring the vertices of a polygon, such that every viewer in it can see a unique colour. The goal is to minimise the number of colours used. This is also known as the conflict-free chromatic guarding problem with…

There exist many variants of guarding an orthogonal polygon in an orthogonal fashion: sometimes a guard can see an entire rectangle, or along a staircase, or along an orthogonal path with at most $k$ bends. In this paper, we study all these…

A sliding camera inside an orthogonal polygon $P$ is a point guard that travels back and forth along an orthogonal line segment $\gamma$ in $P$. The sliding camera $g$ can see a point $p$ in $P$ if the perpendicular from $p$ onto $\gamma$…

We study the Cooperative Guarding problem for polygons with holes in a mobile multi-agents setting. Given a set of agents, initially deployed at a point in a polygon with $n$ vertices and $h$ holes, we require the agents to collaboratively…

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…

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 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…

We explore the problem of $M$-guarding polygons with holes using $k$-visibility guards, where a set of guards is said to $M$-guard a polygon if every point in the polygon is visible to at least $M$ guards, with the constraint that there may…

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 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 provide a spectrum of results for the Universal Guard Problem, in which one is to obtain a small set of points ("guards") that are "universal" in their ability to guard any of a set of possible polygonal domains in the plane. We give…
