In the current paper we obtain discrepancy estimates in exponential Orlicz and BMO spaces in arbitrary dimension $d \ge 3$. In particular, we use dyadic harmonic analysis to prove that for the so-called digital nets of order $2$ the…
The irregularities of a distribution of $N$ points in the unit interval are often measured with various notions of discrepancy. The discrepancy function can be defined with respect to intervals of the form $[0,t)\subset [0,1)$ or arbitrary…
Optimal lower bounds for discrepancy in Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness are known from the work of Triebel. Hinrichs proved upper bounds in the plane. In this work we systematically analyse the problem, starting with a survey…
We consider the local discrepancy of a symmetrized version of Hammersley type point sets in the unit square. As a measure for the irregularity of distribution we study the norm of the local discrepancy in Besov spaces with dominating mixed…
Let A_N be an N-point distribution in the unit square in the Euclidean plane. We consider the Discrepancy function D_N(x) in two dimensions with respect to rectangles with lower left corner anchored at the origin and upper right corner at…
We investigate the discrepancy principle for choosing smoothing parameters for kernel density estimation. The method is based on the distance between the empirical and estimated distribution functions. We prove some new positive and…
We study here the error of numerical integration on metric measure spaces adapted to a decomposition of the space into disjoint subsets. We consider both the error for a single given function, and the worst case error for all functions in a…
In a celebrated construction, Chen and Skriganov gave explicit examples of point sets achieving the best possible $L_2$-norm of the discrepancy function. We consider the discrepancy function of the Chen-Skriganov point sets in Besov spaces…
We consider infinitely dimensional classes of functions and instead of the relative error setting, which was used in previous papers on the integral norm discretization, we consider the absolute error setting. We demonstrate how known…
The main goal of this paper is to provide a brief survey of recent results which connect together results from different areas of research. It is well known that numerical integration of functions with mixed smoothness is closely related to…
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…
A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functions or distributions, and generalizes the standard Bregman divergence…
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…
In this paper, we propose the Fourier Discrepancy Function, a new discrepancy to compare discrete probability measures. We show that this discrepancy takes into account the geometry of the underlying space. We prove that the Fourier…
Recalling recent results on the characterization of threshold-based sampling as quasi-isometric mapping, mathematical implications on the metric and topological structure of the space of event sequences are derived. In this context, the…
Uniform distribution of the points has been of interest to researchers for a long time and has applications in different areas of Mathematics and Computer Science. One of the well-known measures to evaluate the uniformity of a given…
It is a well-known conjecture in the theory of irregularities of distribution that the L1 norm of the discrepancy function of an N-point set satisfies the same asymptotic lower bounds as its L^2 norm. In dimension d=2 this fact has been…
The ostrowski inequality expresses bounds on the deviation of a function from its integral mean. The aim of this paper is to establish a new inequality using weight function which generalizes the inequalities of Dragomir, Wang and Cerone…
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…
A loss function measures the discrepancy between the true values and their estimated fits, for a given instance of data. In classification problems, a loss function is said to be proper if a minimizer of the expected loss is the true…
