We study the extreme and the periodic $L_p$ discrepancy of point sets in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. The extreme discrepancy uses arbitrary sub-intervals of the unit cube as test sets, whereas the periodic discrepancy is based on…

In this paper we study the extreme and the periodic $L_2$ discrepancy of plane point sets. The extreme discrepancy is based on arbitrary rectangles as test sets whereas the periodic discrepancy uses "periodic intervals", which can be seen…

Points in the unit cube with low discrepancy can be constructed using algebra or, more recently, by direct computational optimization of a criterion. The usual $L_\infty$ star discrepancy is a poor criterion for this because it is…

We present an explicit construction of infinite sequences of points $(\boldsymbol{x}_0,\boldsymbol{x}_1, \boldsymbol{x}_2, \ldots)$ in the $d$-dimensional unit-cube whose periodic $L_2$-discrepancy satisfies $$L_{2,N}^{{\rm…

This paper is devoted to the study of a discrepancy-type characteristic -- the fixed volume discrepancy -- of the Korobov point sets in the unit cube. It was observed recently that this new characteristic allows us to obtain optimal rate of…

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…

The smooth fixed volume discrepancy in the periodic case is studied here. It is proved that the Frolov point sets adjusted to the periodic case have optimal in a certain sense order of decay of the smooth periodic discrepancy. The upper…

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…

The symmetrized Hammersley point set is known to achieve the best possible rate for the $L_2$-norm of the discrepancy function. Also lower bounds for the norm in Besov spaces of dominating mixed smoothness are known. In this paper a large…

We investigate the approximation of $d$-variate periodic functions in Sobolev spaces of dominating mixed (fractional) smoothness $s>0$ on the $d$-dimensional torus, where the approximation error is measured in the $L_2-$norm. In other…

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…

It is shown that the discrepancy function for point distributions on a torus is expressed by an explicit formula in terms of its mean values on sub-tori. As an application of this formula, a simple proof of a theorem of Lev on the…

We study the local discrepancy of a symmetrized version of the well-known van der Corput sequence and of modified two-dimensional Hammersley point sets in arbitrary base $b$. We give upper bounds on the norm of the local discrepancy in…

The discrepancy function measures the deviation of the empirical distribution of a point set in $[0,1]^d$ from the uniform distribution. In this paper, we study the classical discrepancy function with respect to the BMO and exponential…

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…

The process of symmetrization is often used to construct point sets with low $L_p$ discrepancy. In the current work we apply this method to the shifted Hammersley point set. It is known that for every shift this symmetrized point set…

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 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…

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…
