The visibility polygon of a simple polygon P is the set of points which are visible from a visibility source in P such as a point or an edge. Since a visibility polygon is the set of points, the set operations such as intersection, union, or difference can be executed on them. The intersection (resp. union) of two visibility polygons is the set of points which are visible from both (resp. either) of the corresponding two visibility sources. The difference of two visibility polygons is the set of points which are visible from only a visibility source. Previously, the best known algorithm for the set operations of two polygons with total n vertices takes O(nlogn ＋ k) time, where k is the output size. In this paper, we present O(n) time algorithms for computing the intersection, the union, and the difference of given two visibility polygons, which are optimal.

The visibility polygon of a simple polygon P is the set of points which are visible from a visibility source in P such as a point or an edge. Since a visibility polygon is the set of points, the set operations such as intersection and union can be executed on them. The intersection(resp. union) of two visibility polygons is the set of points which are visible from both (resp. either) of the corresponding two visibility sources. As previous results, there exist O(n) time algorithms for the set operations of two visibility polygons with total n vertices. In this paper, we present $O(log^2n)$ time algorithms for solving the problems on a reconfigurable mesh with size $O(n^2)$.

In this paper, we consider the problems related to the edge visibility on a reconfigurable mesh(in short, RMESH). The following basic problems related to the edge visibility are considered: First, determine if a given polygon is visible from a specific edge, Second, find all edges from which a given polygon is visible. Third, compute the visibility polygon from a specific edge of a given polygon. In this paper, we consider the following problem in order to solve these problems in constant time: given two edges e and f of a simple polygon p, compute the maximal interval of f which is visible from e. We present a constant time algorithm for the problem on an N-N RMESH, where N is the number of vertices of P. Applying the algorithm, we can solve the above three problems in a constant time on a reconfigurable mesh. Specially, we can solve the third problem in a constant time on an N-$N_2$ RMESH.

This paper considers simple polygon search problem. How many searchers find a mobile intruder that is arbitrarily faster than the searcher within polygon art gallery? This paper uses the visibility graph that is connected with edges for mutually visible vertices. Given visibility graph, we select vertex u that is conjunction ${\Delta}(G)$ in $N_G(v)$ for $d_G(v){\leq}4$. We decide 1-searchable if $1{\leq}{\mid}u{\mid}{\leq}2$ and 2-searchable if ${\mid}u{\mid}{\geq}3$. We also present searcher's shortest path. This algorithm is verified by varies 1 or 2-searchable polygons.

This paper suggests the minimum number of vertex guards algorithm. Given n rooms, the exact number of minimum vertex guards is proposed. However, only approximation algorithms are presented about the maximum number of vertex guards for polygon and orthogonal polygon without or with holes. Fisk suggests the maximum number of vertex guards for polygon with n vertices as follows. Firstly, you can triangulate with n-2 triangles. Secondly, 3-chromatic vertex coloring of every triangulation of a polygon. Thirdly, place guards at the vertices which have the minority color. This paper presents the minimum number of vertex guards using dominating set. Firstly, you can obtain the visibility graph which is connected all edges if two vertices can be visible each other. Secondly, you can obtain dominating set from visibility graph or visibility matrix. This algorithm applies various art galley problems. As a results, the proposed algorithm is simple and can be obtain the minimum number of vertex guards.

본 논문에서는 단순 다각형의 두 에지 사이의 가시성 문제를 재구성가능한 메쉬(RMESH) 병렬 모델에서 상수 시간에 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 고려한다. 두 에지 사이의 가시성은 네 가지 유형, 즉, 완전 가시성(complete visibility), 강 가시성(strong visibility), 약 가시성(weak visibility), 부분 가시성(partial visibility)으로 구분될 수 있다. 논문에서는 에지 가시성에 대한 여러 가지 성질들을 고찰하여 두 에지 사이의 모든 유형에 대한 가시성의 판별과 가시 영역을 구하는 상수 시간 N$\times$N RMESH 알고리즘을 제시한다.

The shortest path between two points inside a simple polygon P is a minimum-length path among all paths connecting them which don't pass by the exterior of P. A linear time algorithm for computing the shortest path in a general simple polygon requires triangulating a given polygon as preprocessing. The linear time triangulating is known to very complex to understand and implement it. It is also inefficient in case that the input without very large size is given because its time complexity has a big constant factor. Two points of a polygon P are said to be L-visible from each other if they can be joined by a simple chain of at most two rectilinear line segments contained in P completely. An L-visible polygon P is a polygon such that there is a point from which every point of P is L-visible. We present the customized optimal shortest path algorithm for an L-visible polygon. Our algorithm doesn't require triangulating as preprocessing and consists of simple procedures such as construction of convex hulls and operations for convex polygons, so it is easy to implement and runs very fast in linear time.

In this paper, we consider a characterization of a Guard Sufficiency Set(GSS) in the hierarchy of simple polygons. we propose the diagonals of a arbitrary triangulation of a polygon as a GSS when guards see the diagonals with completely visibility and both sides of the diagonal. we show that this can be a GSS in convex polygons, unimodal polygons, spiral polygons but this can not be a GSS in star-shaped polygons, monotone polygons, completely external visible polygons.

The watchman routes which an watchman patrols the interior of given polygon moving along the route are classified to minimum length or minimum links. The watchman route with minimum links has minimum changes of direction and a weakly visible polygon consists of two chains which have mutually weakly visibility. In this paper, we present an Ο($n^2$) time algorithm for finding the watchman route with minimum links in the weakly visible polygons, where n is the number of vertices of a given polygon.

본 논문은 재구성 가능한 메쉬(RMESH) 병렬 모델에서 상수 시간에 구멍이 있는 다각형의 한 점으로부터의 가시성 다각형을 구하는 문제를 고려한다. 알고리즘의 기본 전략은 프로세서의 수에 있어 준-최적인 상수 시간 알고리즘을 사용하여 문제의 크기를 감소시킴으로써 최적인 상수 시간 알고리즘을 얻는 것이다. 이 전략을 사용해 모두 N개의 에지로 구성된 구멍이 있는 다각형에 대한 가시성 다각형을 N$\times$N RMESH에서 상수 시간에 구하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이 알고리즘은 다각형들의 집합이 주어져 있을 때 외부의 한 점에서 가시 영역을 구하거나, 선분들의 집합이 주어져 있을 때 평면상의 한 점에서 가시 영역을 구하는 문제도 해결할 수 있다.
