Decomposing a simple polygon into pseudo-triangles and convex polygons
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing a simple polygon into subpolygons that exclusively use vertices of the given polygon. We allow two types of subpolygons: pseud...

Computing All Immobilizing Grasps of a Simple Polygon with Few Contacts
: We study the output-sensitive computations of all the combinations of the edges and vertices of a simple polygon P that allow a form closure grasp with less than four point conta...

Tiling Polygons with Lattice Triangles
Given a simple polygon with rational coordinates having one vertex at the origin and an adjacent vertex on the x-axis, we look at the problem of the location of the vertices for a...

Improved Approximation for Guarding Simple Galleries from the Perimeter
We provide an O(log log OPT)-approximation algorithm for the problem of guarding a simple polygon with guards on the perimeter. We first design a polynomial-time algorithm for bui...

Improved Bounds for Wireless Localization
We consider a novel class of art gallery problems inspired by wireless localization. Given a simple polygon P, place and orient guards each of which broadcasts a unique key within ...

On the number of internal and external visibility edges of polygons
In this paper we prove that for any simple polygon P with n vertices, the sum of the number of strictly internal edges and the number of strictly external visibility edges of P is...

Cluster connecting problem inside a polygon
The cluster connecting problem inside a simple polygon is introduced in this paper. The problem is shown to be NP-complete. A log n-factor approximation algorithm is proposed.

Computing the straight skeleton of a monotone polygon in O(n log n) time
The straight skeleton of a simple polygon is defined as the trace of the vertices when the initial polygon is shrunken in self-parallel manner [2]. In this paper, we propose a sim...

Watchman route in a simple polygon with a rubberband algorithm
So far, the best result in running time for solving the fixed watchman route problem (i.e., shortest path for viewing any point in a simple polygon with given start point) is O(n3...

The Two Guards Problem
Given a simple polygon in the plane with two distinguished vertices, s and g, is it possible for two guards to simultaneously walk along the two boundary chains from s to g in suc...
