Abstract

There exists a positive function ψ(t)\psi(t){on}t0t\geq0{, with fast decay at infinity, such that for every measurable set}Ω\Omega{in the Euclidean space and}R>0R>0{, there exist entire functions}A(x)A(x) {and}B(x)B(x) {of exponential type}RR{, satisfying\}A(x)χΩ(x)B(x)A(x)\leq \chi_{\Omega}(x)\leq B(x){and}B(x)A(x)ψ(Rdist(x,Ω))| B(x)-A(x)| \leqslant\psi(R\operatorname*{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)) . This leads to Erd\H{o}s Tur\'{a}n estimates for discrepancy of point set distributions in the multi dimensional torus. Analogous results hold for approximations by eigenfunctions of differential operators and discrepancy on compact manifolds.
