    Abstract: In this paper we propose a new approach for solving the classification problem, which is based on the using ε-nets theory. It is shown that for ε-separating of two sets one can use their ε-nets in the range space w.r.t. halfspaces, which considerably reduce the complexity of the separating algorithm for large sets’ sizes.
