We bound an exponential sum that appears in the study of irregularities of distribution (the low-frequency Fourier energy of the sum of several Dirac measures) by geometric quantities: a special case is that for all $\left\{ x_1, \dots,…

The equality between dissipation and energy drop is a structural property of gradient-flow dynamics. The classical implicit Euler scheme fails to reproduce this equality at the discrete level. We discuss two modifications of the Euler…
