The L_2-discrepancy measures the irregularity of the distribution of a finite point set. In this note we prove lower bounds for the L_2 discrepancy of arbitrary N-point sets. Our main focus is on the two-dimensional case. Asymptotic upper…
We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.
In this article we survey recent results on the explicit construction of finite point sets and infinite sequences with optimal order of $\mathcal{L}_q$ discrepancy. In 1954 Roth proved a lower bound for the $\mathcal{L}_2$ discrepancy of…
We prove various estimates for the mean square lattice point discrepancy for dilates of a convex body.
We study the dispersion of point sets in the unit square; i.e. the size of the largest axes-parallel box amidst such point sets. It is known that $\liminf_{N\to\infty} N\mathrm{disp}(N,2)\in \left[\frac54,2\right],$ where…
We establish a quantitative lower bound on the reach of flat norm minimizers for boundaries in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
We give lower bounds on the case of worst inhomogeneous approximation.
We find the best asymptotic lower bounds for the coefficient of the leading term of the $L_1$ norm of the two-dimensional (axis-parallel) discrepancy that can be obtained by K.Roth's orthogonal function method among a large class of test…
Two popular and often applied methods to obtain two-dimensional point sets with the optimal order of $L_p$ discrepancy are digit scrambling and symmetrization. In this paper we combine these two techniques and symmetrize $b$-adic Hammersley…
We investigate $L_2$-discrepancies of what we call weak Latin hypercubes. In this case it turns out that there is a precise equivalence between the extreme and periodic $L_2$-discrepancy which follows from a much broader result about…
We show that the $\mathcal{L}_2$ discrepancy of the explicitly constructed infinite sequences of points $(\boldsymbol{x}_0,\boldsymbol{x}_1, \boldsymbol{x}_2,...)$ in $[0,1)^s$ over $\mathbb{F}_2$ introduced in [J. Dick, Walsh spaces…
We study the expected $ L_2-$discrepancy under two classes of partitions, explicit and exact formulas are derived respectively. These results attain better expected $L_2-$discrepancy formulas than jittered sampling.
We find the exact lower bound of the discrepancy of shifted Niedereiter's sequences.
This paper is devoted to the study of a discrepancy-type characteristic -- the fixed volume discrepancy -- of the Fibonacci point set in the unit square. It was observed recently that this new characteristic allows us to obtain optimal rate…
Upper bounds for the $L_p$-discrepancies of point distributions in compact metric measure spaces for $0<p\le\infty$ have been established in the paper [6] by Brandolini, Chen, Colzani, Gigante and Travaglini. In the present paper we show…
In the present paper we prove several results concerning the existence of low-discrepancy point sets with respect to an arbitrary non-uniform measure $\mu$ on the $d$-dimensional unit cube. We improve a theorem of Beck, by showing that for…
In this paper, we prove that some renowned lower bounds in discrepancy theory admit a discrete analogue. Namely, we prove that the lower bound of the discrepancy for corners in the unit cube due to Roth holds true also for a suitable finite…
We obtain new upper and lower bounds on the number of unit perimeter triangles spanned by points in the plane. We also establish improved bounds in the special case where the point set is a section of the integer grid.
We start by providing a very simple and elementary new proof of the classical bound due to J. Beck which states that the spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy of any $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$,…
In this book chapter we survey known approaches and algorithms to compute discrepancy measures of point sets. After providing an introduction which puts the calculation of discrepancy measures in a more general context, we focus on the…
