This provides an improved theoretical upper bound for the dispersion problem, which is fundamental for uniform point sets in high-dimensional spaces.

The paper proves an upper bound on the minimal dispersion, showing that for any ε in (0,1/2) and dimension d≥2, there exists a set of N points in [0,1]^d with N scaling as O(log d * (log(1/ε)/ε)^2) that intersects every axis-parallel box of volume ε.

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 cube $[0,1]^d$, which intersects all axis-parallel boxes with volume $\varepsilon$. That is, the dispersion of this point set is bounded from above by $\varepsilon$.
