Abstract

Let $$\{a_i:i\in I\}$$ be a finite set in $$\mathbb R ^n$$ . The illumination problem addressed in this work is about selecting an apex $$z$$ in a prescribed set $$Z\subseteq \mathbb R ^n$$ and a unit vector $$y\in \mathbb R ^n$$ so that the conic light beam $$\begin{aligned} C(z,y,s):= \{x \in \mathbb R ^n : s\,\Vert x-z\Vert - \langle y, x-z\rangle \le 0\} \end{aligned}$$ captures every $$a_i$$ and, at the same time, it has a sharpness coefficient $$ s\in [0,1]$$ as large as possible.
