We study the size of the largest rectangle containing no point of a given point set in the two-dimensional torus, the dispersion of the point set. A known lower bound for the dispersion of any point set of cardinality $n\ge 2$ in this…
The dispersion of a point set in the unit square is defined to be the area of the largest empty axis-parallel box. In this paper we are interested in the dispersion of lattices in the plane, that is, the supremum of the area of the empty…
We study the dispersion of a point set, a notion closely related to the discrepancy. Given a real $r\in (0,1)$ and an integer $d\geq 2$, let $N(r,d)$ denote the minimum number of points inside the $d$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^d$ such…
This paper is devoted to the study of a discrepancy-type characteristic -- the fixed volume discrepancy -- of the Fibonacci point set in the unit square. It was observed recently that this new characteristic allows us to obtain optimal rate…
For $\varepsilon\in(0,1/2)$ and a natural number $d\ge 2$, let $N$ be a natural number with \[ N \,\ge\, 2^9\,\log_2(d)\, \left(\frac{\log_2(1/\varepsilon)}{\varepsilon}\right)^2. \] We prove that there is a set of $N$ points in the unit…
In this note we show that the volume of axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which do not intersect an admissible lattice $\mathbb{L}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is uniformly bounded. In particular, this implies that the dispersion of the dilated…
We give an improved lower bound for the $L_2$-discrepancy of finite point sets in the unit square.
In this note we present a construction which improves the best known bound on the minimal dispersion of large volume boxes in the unit cube. Let $d>1$. The dispersion of $T \subset [0,1]^d$ is defined as the supremum of the volume taken…
We provide a new construction for a set of boxes approximating axis-parallel boxes of fixed volume in $[0, 1]^d$. This improves upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and…
In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of…
The dispersion of a point set in $[0,1]^d$ is the volume of the largest axis parallel box inside the unit cube that does not intersect with the point set. We study the expected dispersion with respect to a random set of $n$ points…
We prove upper and lower bounds on the minimal spherical dispersion, improving upon previous estimates obtained by Rote and Tichy [Spherical dispersion with an application to polygonal approximation of curves, Anz. \"Osterreich. Akad. Wiss.…
We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.
It is proved that the Fibonacci and the Frolov point sets, which are known to be very good for numerical integration, have optimal rate of decay of dispersion with respect to the cardinality of sets. This implies that the Fibonacci and the…
We improve some upper bounds for minimal dispersion on the cube and torus. /Our new ingredient is an improvement of a probabilistic lemma used to obtain upper bounds for dispersion in several previous works. Our new lemma combines a random…
We derive a sharp scaling law for deviations of edge-isoperimetric sets in the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$ from the limiting Wulff shape in arbitrary dimensions. As the number $n$ of elements diverges, we prove that the symmetric difference to…
In this manuscript we introduce and study an extended version of the minimal dispersion of point sets, which has recently attracted considerable attention. Given a set $\mathscr P_n=\{x_1,\dots,x_n\}\subset [0,1]^d$ and…
We give a new lower bound for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse function in the high dimension regime. This is done by considering only a very small class of test boxes, which allows us to reduce…
We show that the isotropic discrepancy of a lattice point set can be bounded from below and from above in terms of the spectral test of the corresponding integration lattice. From this we deduce that the isotropic discrepancy of any…
In first-passage percolation (FPP), one assigns i.i.d.~weights to the edges of the cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and analyzes the induced weighted graph metric. If $T(x,y)$ is the distance between vertices $x$ and $y$, then a primary…
