Optimal covering of line subsegments using a given set of disks
This will be a high-level suggestion, and definitely not optimal.
First, execute a sweepline algorithm to detect all the points of intersections between
segments and circles.
Then for each segment, r …

Find minimum-area ellipse which encloses two ellipses
Below is an example to illustrate Will Jagy's solution.
(Caveat lector: I did not preserve scale from image to image.)
First, it is no loss of generality to rotate so that one ellipse $E_1$ has its ma …
