Algorithms for Weak "-nets

In the plane, we can nd a weak "-net for convex sets consisting of O(" ?2) points, in time O(n" ?2). We can determine the smallest " for which a given planar set is an "-net in time O(n 3). In IR d , we can nd weak "-nets of size O 1 " d log O(1) 1 " in time O(n (1=") O(1)) (both exponents depending on d).
