Title
Small strong epsilon nets
Abstract
Let P be a set of n points in R^d. A point x is said to be a centerpoint of P if x is contained in every convex object that contains more than dnd+1 points of P. We call a point x a strong centerpoint for a family of objects C if [email protected]?P is contained in every object [email protected]?C that contains more than a constant fraction of points of P. A strong centerpoint does not exist even for halfspaces in R^2. We prove that a strong centerpoint exists for axis-parallel boxes in R^d and give exact bounds. We then extend this to small strong @e-nets in the plane. Let @e"i^S represent the smallest real number in [0,1] such that there exists an @e"i^S-net of size i with respect to S. We prove upper and lower bounds for @e"i^S where S is the family of axis-parallel rectangles, halfspaces and disks.
