In the barrier resilience problem (introduced by Kumar et al., Wireless Networks 2007), we are given a collection of regions of the plane, acting as obstacles, and we would like to remove the minimum number of regions so that two fixed points can be connected without crossing any region. In this paper, we show that the problem is NP-hard when the collection only contains fat regions with bounde...
