Abstract

This paper studies the problem of discrepancy estimates for pseudorandom vectors constructed by the elliptic curve congruential generator, particularly in the non-translational case. Two families of results are obtained. First, in a full-coset regime characterized by a relative maximal period condition (RMPC) on an induced one-dimensional linear congruential generator, one proves bounds of type q1/2/tq^{1/2}/t for the discrepancy DD, the serial discrepancy DsD_s, and, under the corresponding derived RMPC, the non-overlapping discrepancy D~s\widetilde D_s. Second, in the general sub-period regime, one reduces bounds for DD, DsD_s, and D~s\widetilde D_s to estimation of Fourier 1\ell^1 masses of admissible index sets attached to one-dimensional linear congruential generators. This isolates the arithmetic bottleneck for further improvement.
