Quasi-Monte Carlo methods are used for numerically integrating multivariate functions. However, the error bounds for these methods typically rely on a priori knowledge of some semi-norm of the integrand, not on the sampled function values.…
In this paper, we prove a new point-sphere incidence bound in vector spaces over finite fields. More precisely, let $P$ be a set of points and $S$ be a set of spheres in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Suppose that $|P|, |S|\le N$, we prove that the…

For $t \in [-1, 1)$, a set of points on the $(n-1)$-dimensional unit sphere is called $t$-almost equiangular if among any three distinct points there is a pair with inner product $t$. We propose a semidefinite programming upper bound for…

In the present paper the problem of construction of optimal quadrature formulas in the sense of Sard in the space $L_2^{(m)}(0,1)$is considered. Here the quadrature sum consists of values of the integrand at nodes and values of the first…
The spherical cap discrepancy is a prominent measure of uniformity for sets on the d-dimensional sphere. It is particularly important for estimating the integration error for certain classes of functions on the sphere. Building on a…
