I would try to use Voronoi domains $$V_i=\{\\,x\in\mathbb R^2\mid |o_i-x|\le |o_j-x|^2\ \text{for all}\ j\\,\},$$ where $o_i$ is the center of $C_i$. I guess there are some algorithms which produce it. Then you only need to check that
- each vertexes $a\in C_{n+1}$ of Voronoi domain $V_i$.
- and each point of intersection $\partial V_i\cap \partial C_{n+1}$
lies in $C_i$.
In the case of varying radii, you can still use modified Voronoi domains; $$V_i=\{\\,x\in\mathbb R^2\mid f_i(x)\le f_j(x)\ \text{for all}\ j\\,\}.$$ where $f_i(x)$ is the power of the point $x$ with respect to $C_i$.
P.S. I deleted my answer earlier sinse I miscalculated time, but Alexander Griffing noticed that, it is $O(N \log N)$ --- $O(N \log N)$ a Voronoi diagram see wikipedia and one needs to check check only $O(N)$ points after one makes the diagram.
