Abstract

We derandomize a recent algorithmic approach due to Bansal [2] to efficiently compute low discrepancy colorings for several problems. In particular, we give an efficient deterministic algorithm for Spencer's six standard deviations result [13], and to a find low discrepancy coloring for a set system with low hereditary discrepancy.
