Online Beck--Fiala Down to Logarithmic Sparsity
The main thrust of the result is that it is actually obtained by an efficient \textit{online} algorithm that minimizes prefix discrepancy, and is also essentially optimal, since online prefix discrepancy is known to scale as $\omega(\sqrt{d})$ for $d =o(\log T)$.
