Computational complexity and exact polynomial algorithms are reported for the problem of stabbing a set of straight line segments with a least cardinality set of disks of fixed radii r > 0, where the set of segments forms a straight line drawing G = (V,E) of a plane graph without edge crossings. Similar geometric problems arise in network security applications (Agarwal et al., 2013). We establish...
