Staircase two-guard kernels of orthogonal polygons (Q5954164)

The author takes a simply connected orthogonal polygon \(S\) in the plane and proves that for each point \(t\) of \(S\), its visibility set \(\text{vis}(t)\) is geodesically convex. Furthermore, if this simply connected orthogonal polygon is also two-guardable via staircase paths but is not starshaped and if \(K\) is a component of the \(\text{two-kernel}(S)\), the set of partners of points of \(K\) determines a second component \(K'\) of the \(\text{two-kernel}(S)\), such components occurring in pairs and each component being geodesically convex.
