We extend the notion of jittered sampling to arbitrary partitions and study the discrepancy of the related point sets. Let $\mathbf{\Omega}=(\Omega_1,\ldots,\Omega_N)$ be a partition of $[0,1]^d$ and let the $i$th point in $\mathcal{P}$ be…
For $m, d \in \mathbb{N}$, a jittered sample of $N=m^d$ points can be constructed by partitioning $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ axis-aligned equivolume boxes and placing one point independently and uniformly at random inside each box. We utilise a…
We study the discrepancy of jittered sampling sets: such a set $\mathcal{P} \subset [0,1]^d$ is generated for fixed $m \in \mathbb{N}$ by partitioning $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ axis aligned cubes of equal measure and placing a random point…
Classical jittered sampling partitions $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ cubes for a positive integer $m$ and randomly places a point inside each of them, providing a point set of size $N=m^d$ with small discrepancy. The aim of this note is to provide a…
For $m, d \in {\mathbb N}$, a jittered sampling point set $P$ having $N = m^d$ points in $[0,1)^d$ is constructed by partitioning the unit cube $[0,1)^d$ into $m^d$ axis-aligned cubes of equal size and then placing one point independently…
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.
Jittered Sampling is a refinement of the classical Monte Carlo sampling method. Instead of picking $n$ points randomly from $[0,1]^2$, one partitions the unit square into $n$ regions of equal measure and then chooses a point randomly from…
We study the expected $\mathcal{L}_2$-discrepancy of stratified samples generated from special equi-volume partitions of the unit square. The partitions are defined via parallel lines that are all orthogonal to the diagonal of the square.…
We introduce a class of convex equivolume partitions. Expected $L_2-$discrepancy are discussed under these partitions. There are two main results. First, under this kind of partitions, we generate random point sets with smaller expected…
We study the expected star discrepancy under a newly designed class of non-equal volume partitions. The main contributions are twofold. First, we establish a strong partition principle for the star discrepancy, showing that our newly…

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…
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…
Stratified sampling is a fast and simple method to generate point sets with uniform distribution in hypercubes. However, for the most common paraxial stratfication it has the prominent drawback that the number of sampled points in n…
This paper studies the expected $L_p$-discrepancy ($2 \leq p < \infty$) for stratified sampling schemes under importance sampling. We introduce a parametric family of equivolume partitions $\Omega_{\theta,\sim}$ and leverage recent exact…
We performed a rigorous theoretical convergence analysis of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). We prove that errors in any measured quantity are bounded by a sum of a linear and quadratic term in the size of a dipole d, when the…
Let $C$ be a convex $d$-dimensional body. If $\rho$ is a large positive number, then the dilated body $\rho C$ contains $\rho^{d}\left\vert C\right\vert +\mathcal{O}\left( \rho^{d-1}\right) $ integer points, where $\left\vert C\right\vert $…
In this paper, we consider the upper bound of the probabilistic star discrepancy based on Hilbert space filling curve sampling. This problem originates from the multivariate integral approximation, but the main result removes the strict…
We study the $L_p$-discrepancy of random point sets in high dimensions, with emphasis on small values of $p$. Although the classical $L_p$-discrepancy suffers from the curse of dimensionality for all $p \in (1,\infty)$, the gap between…
Monte Carlo sampling techniques are used to estimate high-dimensional integrals that model the physics of light transport in virtual scenes for computer graphics applications. These methods rely on the law of large numbers to estimate…
