Abstract

Let x0,x1,...{\bf x}_0,{\bf x}_1,... be a sequence of points in [0,1)s[0,1)^s. A subset SS of [0,1)s[0,1)^s is called a bounded remainder set if there exist two real numbers aa and CC such that, for every integer NN, card{n<N    xnS}aN<C. | {\rm card}\{n <N \; | \; {\bf x}_{n} \in S\} - a N| <C . Let (xn)n0 ({\bf x}_n)_{n \geq 0} be an ss-dimensional Halton-type sequence obtained from a global function field, b2b \geq 2, γ=(γ1,...,γs){\bf \gamma} =(\gamma_1,...,\gamma_s), γi[0,1)\gamma_i \in [0, 1), with bb-adic expansion γi=γi,1b1+γi,2b2+...\gamma_i= \gamma_{i,1}b^{-1}+ \gamma_{i,2}b^{-2}+..., i=1,...,si=1,...,s. In this paper, we prove that [0,γ1)×...×[0,γs)[0,\gamma_1) \times ...\times [0,\gamma_s) is the bounded remainder set with respect to the sequence (xn)n0({\bf x}_n)_{n \geq 0} if and only if \begin{equation} \nonumber \max_{1 \leq i \leq s} \max \{ j \geq 1 \; | \; \gamma_{i,j} \neq 0 \} < \infty. \end{equation} We also obtain the similar results for a generalized Niederreiter sequences, Xing-Niederreiter sequences and Niederreiter-Xing sequences.
