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.

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 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 elaborate on the intimate connection between the largest volume of an empty axis-parallel box in a set of $n$ points from $[0,1]^d$ and cover-free families from the extremal set theory. This connection was discovered in a recent paper of…

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…

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…

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…
