Abstract

A labyrinth is set L of line segments in the plane (E^2) such that the line segments have pairwise disjoint relative interiors and their complement E^2\@?L is connected. This paper gives combinatorial bounds on four classical illumination problems for labyrinths. For comparison, we refer to bounds on the corresponding problems in the presence of disjoint opaque line segments.
