Edge Guards for Polyhedra in Three-Space

چکیده
It is shown that every polyhedron in R3 with m edges can be guarded with at most 27 32m edge guards. The bound improves to 6m + 1 12 if the 1-skeleton of the polyhedron is connected. These are the first non-trivial upper bounds for the edge guard problem for general polyhedra in R3.

Edge-guarding Orthogonal Polyhedra
We address the question: How many edge guards are needed to guard an orthogonal polyhedron of e edges, r of which are reflex? It was previously established [3] that e/12 are sometimes necessary and e/6 always suffice. In contrast to the closed edge guards used for these bounds, we introduce a new model, open edge guards (excluding the endpoints of the edge), which we argue are in some sense mor...
متن کاملGuarding and Searching Polyhedra
Guarding and searching problems have been of fundamental interest since the early years of Computational Geometry. Both are well-developed areas of research and have been thoroughly studied in planar polygonal settings. In this thesis we tackle the Art Gallery Problem and the Searchlight Scheduling Problem in 3-dimensional polyhedral environments, putting special emphasis on edge guards and ort...
متن کاملOptimally Guarding 2-Reflex Orthogonal Polyhedra by Reflex Edge Guards
We study the problem of guarding an orthogonal polyhedron having reflex edges in just two directions (as opposed to three) by placing guards on reflex edges only. We show that ⌊ r − g 2 ⌋
متن کاملFace-Guarding Polyhedra
We study the Art Gallery Problem for face guards in polyhedral environments. The problem can be informally stated as: how many (not necessarily convex) windows should we place on the external walls of a dark building, in order to completely illuminate it? We consider both closed and open face guards (i.e., faces with or without their boundary), and we give some upper and lower bounds on the min...
متن کاملA Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars
Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...
