The threshold for online balancing of i.i.d. binary vectors

This paper identifies the threshold at which sparsity begins to govern the online discrepancy of the random Beck--Fiala model, where the independent uniformly random vectors are independent of the sparsity up to constant factors.

Improved Algorithms for Beck--Fiala with Bounded Sets

We give an efficient algorithm with improved algorithmic guarantees for the (offline) Beck--Fiala problem when the sets have bounded size. Let $A$ be an arbitrary matrix $A\in\{0,1\}^{m\times n}$ with at most $d$ ones per column and at most $s$ ones per row. Let $\log^*$ denote the iterated logarithm and $\ell_j$ denot...

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 $d =o(\log T)$.
