Abstract

We show the existence of weak @e-nets of size O(1/@eloglog(1/@e)) for point sets and axis-parallel boxes in R^d, for d=4. Our analysis uses a non-trivial variant of the recent technique of Aronov et al. (2009) [3] that yields (strong) @e-nets, whose size have the above asymptotic bound, for d=2,3.
