Guarding terrains via local search

We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algorithm inspired by the recent results of Chan and Har-Peled (SoCG 2009) and Mustafa and Ray (DCG 2010). Our key contribut...
