Practical Algorithms for Low-Discrepancy 2-Colorings

We present practical approaches for low-discrepancy 2-colorings in the hypergraph of arithmetic progressions. A simple randomized algorithm, a deterministic combinatorial algorithm (Sarkozy 1974), and three estimation of distribution algorithms are compared. The best of them experimentally achieves a constant-factor approximation.
