The intersection radius of a finite collection of geometrical objects in the plane is the radius of the smallest closed disk that intersects all the objects in the collection. Bhattacharya et al. showed how the intersection radius can be found in linear time for a collection of line segments in the
Given a set S of n disjoint convex polygons {P i | 1 i n} in a plane, each with k i vertices, the transversal problem is to determine whether there exists a straight line that goes through every polygon in S. We show that the transversal problem can be solved in O(N + n log n) time, where N = n i=1
