Abstract

We show the existence of weak ε-nets of size O(1/εloglog(1/ ε)) for point sets and axis-parallel boxes in ℝd, for d≥4. Our analysis uses a non-trivial variant of the recent technique of Aronov et al. (2009) [3] that yields (strong) ε-nets, whose size have the above asymptotic bound, for d=2,3.
