First, we show that the minimum number of co-operative guards required for a $k$-spiral polygon is at most $N_k$, the total number of reflex vertices in the $k$-spiral. Then we classify 2-spirals into seven different types based on the structure. Finally, we present a minimum co-operative guard placement algorithm for general 2-spirals. rv:
