We give an alternative, and arguably simpler, proof of the fact, first shown by Chazelle et al., that every point set X in Rd admits a weak ε-net of cardinality O(ε-dpolylog(1/ε)). Moreover, for a number of special point sets (e.g., for points on the moment curve), our method gives substantially better bounds. The construction yields an algorithm to construct such weak ε-nets in time O(n ln(1/ε)).","lang":"eng"}],"extern":1,"quality_controlled":0,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:57:24Z","issue":"2","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:57:35Z","date_published":"2004-07-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"Discrete & Computational Geometry","year":"2004","volume":32,"citation":{"chicago":"Matoušek, Jiří, and Uli Wagner. “New Constructions of Weak ε-Nets.” <i>Discrete &#38; Computational Geometry</i>.
