Floodlight illumination of infinite wedges

The floodlight illumination problem asks whether there exists a one-to-one placement of n floodlights illuminating infinite wedges of angles α 1 , … , α n at n sites p 1 , … , p n in a plane such that a given infinite wedge W of angle θ located at point q is completely illuminated by the floodlights...

Abstract The floodlight illumination problem asks whether there exists a one-to-one placement of n floodlights illuminating infinite wedges of angles α 1 , … , α n at n sites p 1 , … , p n in a plane such that a given infinite wedge W of angle θ located at point q is completely illuminated by the floodlights. We prove that this problem is NP-hard, closing an open problem posed by Demaine and O'Rourke (CCCG 2001). In fact, we show that the problem is NP-complete even when α i = α for all 1 ⩽ i ⩽ n (the uniform case) and θ = ∑ i = 1 n α i (the tight case).
