An improvement of the Beck-Fiala theorem

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In 1981 Beck and Fiala proved an upper bound for the discrepancy of a set system of degree d that is independent of the size of the ground set. In the intervening years the bound has been decreased from 2d-2 to 2d-4. We improve the bound to 2d-log* d.
