On the Complexity of Half-Guarding Monotone Polygons (2204.13143v1)
Published 27 Apr 2022 in cs.CG
Abstract: We consider a variant of the art gallery problem where all guards are limited to seeing to the right inside a monotone polygon. We call such guards: half-guards. We provide a polynomial-time approximation for point guarding the entire monotone polygon. We improve the best known approximation of 40 from [11], to 8. We also provide an NP-hardness reduction for point guarding a monotone polygon with half-guards.
