We study the quasi-uniformity properties of digital nets, a class of quasi-Monte Carlo point sets. Quasi-uniformity is a space-filling property used for instance in experimental designs and radial basis function approximation. However, it…
Quasi-Monte Carlo methods are a way of improving the efficiency of Monte Carlo methods. Digital nets and sequences are one of the low discrepancy point sets used in quasi-Monte Carlo methods. This thesis presents the three new results…
The class of $(t,m,s)$-nets and $(t,s)$-sequences, introduced in their most general form by Niederreiter, are important examples of point sets and sequences that are commonly used in quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms for integration and…
The theory of digital sequences is a fundamental topic in QMC theory. Digital sequences are prototypes of sequences with low discrepancy. First examples were given by Il'ya Meerovich Sobol' and by Henri Faure with their famous…
The second author recently suggested to identify the generating matrices of a digital $(t,m,s)$-net over the finite field $F_q$ with an $s \times m$ matrix $C$ over $F_{q^m}$. More exactly, the entries of $C$ are determined by interpreting…
In this paper we study quasi-Monte Carlo integration of smooth functions using digital nets. We fold digital nets over $\mathbb{Z}_{b}$ by means of the $b$-adic tent transformation, which has recently been introduced by the authors, and…
This paper studies \emph{Dirichlet arrangements}, a generalization of graphic hyperplane arrangements arising from electrical networks and order polytopes of finite posets. We generalize descriptions of combinatorial features of graphic…
The new concept of multilevel network is introduced in order to embody some topological properties of complex systems with structures in the mesoscale which are not completely captured by the classical models. This new model, which…
We study the dispersion of digital $(0,m,2)$-nets; i.e. the size of the largest axes-parallel box within such point sets. Digital nets are an important class of low-discrepancy point sets. We prove tight lower and upper bounds for certain…
The discrepancy of a point set quantifies how well the points are distributed, with low-discrepancy point sets demonstrating exceptional uniform distribution properties. Such sets are integral to quasi-Monte Carlo methods, which approximate…
We study a new class of networks, generated by sequences of letters taken from a finite alphabet consisting of $m$ letters (corresponding to $m$ types of nodes) and a fixed set of connectivity rules. Recently, it was shown how a binary…
We introduce the concept of $\delta$-sequence. A $\delta$-sequence $\Delta$ generates a well-ordered semigroup $S$ in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ or $\mathbb{R}$. We show how to construct (and compute parameters) for the dual code of any evaluation code…
The classes of $(u,m,{\bf e},s)$-nets and $(u,{\bf e},s)$-sequences were recently introduced by Tezuka, and in a slightly more restrictive form by Hofer and Niederreiter. We study propagation rules for these point sets, which state how one…
The authors recently introduced so-called Vandermonde nets. These digital nets share properties with the well-known polynomial lattices. For example, both can be constructed via component-by-component search algorithms. A striking…
We study numerical integration of smooth functions defined over the $s$-dimensional unit cube. A recent work by Dick et al. (2019) has introduced so-called extrapolated polynomial lattice rules, which achieve the almost optimal rate of…
Multinets are certain configurations of lines and points with multiplicities in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. They appear in the study of resonance and characteristic varieties of complex hyperplane arrangement complements…
The discrepancy of a sequence measures how quickly it approaches a uniform distribution. Given a natural number $d$, any collection of one-dimensional so-called low discrepancy sequences $\left\{S_i:1\le i \le d\right\}$ can be concatenated…

We investigate a network model based on an infinite regular square lattice embedded in the Euclidean plane where the node connection probability is given by the geometrical distance of nodes. We show that the degree distribution in the…
