Sweeping a Domain with Line-Of-Sight Between Covisible Agents

Authors: Kien C. Huynh, Joseph S. B. Mitchell, and Valentin Polishchuk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
We consider sweeping a polygonal domain using variable-length segments whose endpoints can be considered to be mobile agents moving with bounded speeds; a point in the domain is swept when it belongs to one of the segments. The objective is to sweep the domain as quickly as possible. We show that the problem is NP-hard even in simple polygons and even for a single segment (two agents), and give constant-factor approximation algorithms, both for simple polygons and polygons with holes. Our approximations are obtained by introducing a new type of "window partition" of the polygon, which may find other applications. For domains with holes, our results are based on a non-trivial topological argument proving a surprising fact: a connected subset of the domain, whose points are swept but not directly touched by the agents, may contain at most one hole.

Independence and Domination on Bounded-Treewidth Graphs: Integer, Rational, and Irrational Distances

Authors: Tim A. Hartmann and Dániel Marx

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
The distance-d variants of Independent Set and Dominating Set problems have been extensively studied from different algorithmic viewpoints. In particular, the complexity of these problems are well understood on bounded-treewidth graphs [Katsikarelis, Lampis, and Paschos, Discret. Appl. Math 2022][Borradaile and Le, IPEC 2016]: given a tree decomposition of width t, the two problems can be solved in time d^t⋅ n^O(1) and (2d+1)^t⋅ n^O(1), respectively. Furthermore, assuming the Strong Exponential-Time Hypothesis (SETH), the base constants are best possible in these running times: they cannot be improved to d-ε and 2d+1-ε, respectively, for any ε > 0. We investigate continuous versions of these problems in a setting introduced by Megiddo and Tamir [SICOMP 1983], where every edge is modeled by a unit-length interval of points. In the δ-Dispersion problem, the task is to find a maximum number of points (possibly inside edges) that are pairwise at distance at least δ from each other. Similarly, in the δ-Covering problem, the task is to find a minimum number of points (possibly inside edges) such that every point of the graph (including those inside edges) is at distance at most δ from the selected point set. We provide a comprehensive understanding of these two problems on bounded-treewidth graphs. 1) Let δ = a/b with a and b being coprime. If a ≤ 2, then δ-Dispersion is polynomial-time solvable. For a ≥ 3, given a tree decomposition of width t, the problem can be solved in time (2a)^t⋅ n^O(1), and, assuming SETH, there is no (2a-ε)^t⋅n^{O(1)} time algorithm for any ε > 0. 2) Let δ = a/b with a and b being coprime. If a = 1, then δ-Covering is polynomial-time solvable. For a ≥ 2, given a tree decomposition of width t, the problem can be solved in time ((2+2(bod 2)) a)^t⋅ n^O(1), and, assuming SETH, there is no ((2+2(bod 2))a -ε)^t⋅n^O(1) time algorithm for any ε > 0. 3) For every fixed irrational number δ > 0 satisfying some mild computability condition, both δ-Dispersion and δ-Covering can be solved in time n^O(t) on graphs of treewidth t. We show a very explicitly defined irrational number δ = (4∑_{j=1}^∞ 2^{-2^j})^{-1} ≈ 0.790085 such that δ-Dispersion and δ/2-Covering are W[1]-hard parameterized by the treewidth t of the input graph, and, assuming ETH, cannot be solved in time f(t)⋅n^o(t). As a key step in obtaining these results, we extend earlier results on distance-d versions of Independent Set and Dominating Set: We determine the exact complexity of these problems in the special case when the input graph arises from some graph G' by subdividing every edge exactly b times.

Illuminating the x-Axis by α-Floodlights

Authors: Bengt J. Nilsson, David Orden, Leonidas Palios, Carlos Seara, and Paweł Żyliński

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract
Given a set S of regions with piece-wise linear boundary and a positive angle α < 90°, we consider the problem of computing the locations and orientations of the minimum number of α-floodlights positioned at points in S which suffice to illuminate the entire x-axis. We show that the problem can be solved in O(n log n) time and O(n) space, where n is the number of vertices of the set S.
