Abstract: The dispersion of a point set Psubset[0,1]d is the volume of the largest box with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, which does not intersect P. Here, we show a construction of low-dispersion point sets, which can be deduced from solutions of certain k-restriction problems, which are well-known in coding theory. It was observed only recently that, for any varepsilon>0, certain randomized constructions provide point sets with dispersion smaller than varepsilon and number of elements growing only logarithmically in d. Based on deep results from coding theory, we present explicit, deterministic algorithms to construct such point sets in time that is only polynomial in d. Note that, however, the running-time will be super-exponential in varepsilon1.
