MSR is W[1]-hard parameterized by k+Delta on weighted bipartite graphs and by vertex cover number plus k, but FPT parameterized by treewidth plus Delta on weighted graphs.
Smallest-enclosing-disk queries over points in axis-aligned rectangles can be answered in O(log^4 n) deterministic or O(log^{5/2} n log log n) expected time via 2D farthest-point Voronoi diagrams.
