Ortho-unit polygons can be guarded with at most $\lfloor \frac{n-4}{8} \rfloor$ guards (2208.12864v1)

Abstract: An orthogonal polygon is called an ortho-unit polygon if its vertices have integer coordinates, and all of its edges have length one. In this paper we prove that any ortho-unit polygon with $n \geq 12$ vertices can be guarded with at most $\lfloor \frac{n-4}{8} \rfloor$ guards.
