差异的行列式界几乎是紧的

The determinant bound for discrepancy is almost tight

Jiri Matousek

摘要:

1986年,Lovasz,Spencer和Vesztergombi证明了集合系统F的遗传a差异的一个下界,该下界是由F的关联矩阵的平方子矩阵的行列式表示的. Hoffman的一个例子表明,这个界可以与herdisc(F)相差一个几乎log n阶的乘法因子,其中n是F的基集的大小。我们证明,它从来没有不同的超过O((log n)3/2),假设|F|有界的多项式n。我们还证明了,如果这样的F是t个系统F_1,. . ., F_t,各遗传差异最大为D,则其方差(F)\leq O(t^(1/2)(log n)^(3/2)D)。对于t = 2,这几乎回答了一个Sos问题。证明是基于最近的算法结果Bansal,计算低差异着色使用半定规划。

英文摘要:

In 1986 Lovasz, Spencer, and Vesztergombi proved a lower bound for the hereditary a discrepancy of a set system F in terms of determinants of square submatrices of the incidence matrix of F. As shown by an example of Hoffman, this bound can differ from herdisc(F) by a multiplicative factor of order almost log n, where n is the size of the ground set of F. We prove that it never differs by more than O((log n)3/2), assuming |F| bounded by a polynomial in n. We also prove that if such an F is the union of t systems F_1, . . ., F_t, each of hereditary discrepancy at most D, then herdisc(F) \leq O(t^(1/2)(log n)^(3/2) D). For t = 2, this almost answers a question of Sos. The proof is based on a recent algorithmic result of Bansal, which computes low-discrepancy colorings using semidefinite programming.
