N2 - Let P be a simple polygon, and let Q be a set of points in P. We present an almost-linear time algorithm for computing a minimum cover of Q by disks that are contained in P. We generalize the algorithm above, so that it can compute a minimum cover of Q by homothets of any fixed compact convex set of constant description complexity that are contained in P. This improves previous results of Katz and Morgenstern [20]. We also consider the disk-cover problem when Q is contained in a (not too wide) annulus, and present a nearly linear algorithm for this case too.
