Given a set
P
of
n
points and a straight line
L
, we study three important variations of minimum enclosing circle problem. The first problem is on computing
k
circles of minimum (common) radius with centers on
L
which can cover the members in
P
. We propose three algorithms for this problem. The first one runs in
O
(
nk
log
n
) time and
O
(
n
) space. The second one runs in
O
(
nk
+
k
2
log
3
n
) time and
O
(
n
log
n
) space assuming that the points are sorted along
L
, and is efficient where
k
< <
n
. The third one is based on parametric search and it runs in
O
(
n
log
n
+
k
log
4
n
) time. The next one is on computing the minimum radius circle centered on
L
that can enclose at least
k
points. The time and space complexities of the proposed algorithm are
O
(
nk
) and
O
(
n
) respectively. Finally, we study the situation where the points are associated with
k
colors, and the objective is to find a minimum radius circle with center on
L
such that at least one point of each color lies inside it. We propose an
O
(
n
log
n
) time algorithm for this problem.
