Title
Approximability of Covering Cells with Line Segments.
Abstract
Korman et al. [18] studied the following geometric covering problem: given a set S of n line segments in the plane, find a minimum number of line segments such that every cell in the arrangement of the line segments is covered. Here, a line segment s covers a cell f if s is incident to f. The problem was shown to be NP-hard, even if the line segments in S are axis-parallel, and it remains NP-hard when the goal is to cover the “rectangular” cells (i.e., cells that are defined by exactly four axis-parallel line segments).
