Hiding points in arrangements of segments. (English) Zbl 0874.68296

Summary: A hidden set is a set of points such that no two points in the set are visible to each other. In this paper we study hidden sets of points in arrangements of segments, and we provide bounds for its maximum size that are optimal up to a factor 2.
