Abstract

A graph \(G = (V,E)\) is terrain-like if one can assign a unique integer from the range [1..|V|] to each vertex in V, such that, if both \(\{i,k\}\) and \(\{j,l\}\) are in E, for any \(i< j< k < l\), then so is \(\{i,l\}\). We present a local-search-based PTAS for minimum dominating set in terrain-like graphs. Then, we observe that, besides the visibility graphs of x-monotone terrains which are terrain-like, so are the visibility graphs of weakly-visible polygons and weakly-visible terrains, immediately implying a PTAS for guarding the vertices of such a polygon or terrain from its vertices. We also present PTASs for continuously guarding the boundary of a WV-polygon or WV-terrain, either from its vertices, or, for a WV-terrain, from arbitrary points on the terrain. Finally, we compare between terrain-like graphs and non-jumping graphs, and also observe that both families admit PTASs for maximum independent set.
