Research Abstract

This work presents a new method for solving the visibility-based pursuit-evasion problems, mainly by transforming them into the shortest path problems in graphs. For the two-guards problem, we presented the O(n^2) time algorithms for computing the search schedules in which the sum of the distances traveled by the two guards is minimized, or the maximum distance between the two guards is minimized. For the problem of searching mobile intruders in a circular corridor by two 1-searchers, we gave an O(n*n) time solution. For the problem of finding a simple path that turns at the points from the given n points but avoids the boundary of the given polygon of m vertices, we presented an O((n*n+m) log m) time algorithm, which greatly improves upon the previous O((n m)*(n m)) time bound. Finally, we also gave a simple characterization of LR-visibility polygons and a linear-time algorithm for determining whether a given polygon is LR-visible.
