We relate the problem to centerpoints and lower centerpoints of point sets. Moreover, we show that for any set of n points in ℝd, there is a subset A ⊆ S of size [d+3/2] such that any ball containing A contains at least roughly 4/5ed 3n points of S. This improves previous bounds for which the constant was exponentially small in d. We also consider a generalization of the planar disk containment problem to families of pseudodisks."}],"_id":"2432","doi":"10.1007/978-3-540-69733-6_36","conference":{"name":"COCOON: Conference on Computing and Combinatorics"},"author":[{"first_name":"Shakhar","full_name":"Smorodinsky, Shakhar","last_name":"Smorodinsky"},{"first_name":"Marek","full_name":"Sulovský, Marek","last_name":"Sulovský"},{"full_name":"Uli Wagner","first_name":"Uli","orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","last_name":"Wagner","id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"quality_controlled":0,"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"title":"On center regions and balls containing many points","citation":{"ieee":"S.
