By a profound result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski, and Wo{\'z}niakowski the inverse of the star-discrepancy $n^*(s,\ve)$ satisfies the upper bound $n^*(s,\ve) \leq c_{\mathrm{abs}} s \ve^{-2}$. This is equivalent to the fact that for any…

By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…

In 2004 the second author of the present paper proved that a point set in $[0,1]^d$ which has star-discrepancy at most $\varepsilon$ must necessarily consist of at least $c_{abs} d \varepsilon^{-1}$ points. Equivalently, every set of $n$…

The inverse of the star-discrepancy problem asks for point sets $P_{N,s}$ of size $N$ in the $s$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^s$ whose star-discrepancy $D^\ast(P_{N,s})$ satisfies $$D^\ast(P_{N,s}) \le C \sqrt{s/N},$$ where $C> 0$ is a…

In 2001 Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski proved that the inverse of the star discrepancy satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d \varepsilon^{-2}$ by showing that there exists a set of points in $[0,1)^d$ whose…

A central problem in discrepancy theory is the challenge of evenly distributing points $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n \right\}$ in $[0,1]^d$. Suppose a set is so regular that for some $\varepsilon> 0$ and all $y \in [0,1]^d$ the sub-region $[0,y]…

The star discrepancy $D_N^*(\mathcal{P})$ is a quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution of a finite point set $\mathcal{P}$ in the multi-dimensional unit cube which is intimately related to the integration error of…

It is known that there is a constant $c>0$ such that for every sequence $x_1, x_2,\ldots$ in $[0,1)$ we have for the star discrepancy $D^{*}_N$ of the first $N$ elements of the sequence that $N D^{*}_N\geq c\cdot \log N$ holds for…

It is known that there is a constant $c > 0$ such that for every sequence $x_1, x_2, \ldots$ in $[0,1)$ we have for the star discrepancy $D_N^*$ of the first $N$ elements of the sequence that $N D_N^* \ge c \cdot \log N$ holds for…

The inverse of the star discrepancy, $N(\epsilon, s)$, defined as the minimum number of points required to achieve a star discrepancy of at most $\epsilon$ in dimension $s$, is known to depend linearly on $s$. However, explicit…

We establish the existence of $N$-point sets in dimension $d$ whose star-discrepancy is bounded above by $2.4631832 \sqrt{\frac{d}{N}}$, where the numerical constant improves upon all previously known bounds. This improvement is obtained by…

The star discrepancy is a quantitative measure of the uniformity of a point set in the unit cube. A central quantity of interest is the inverse of the star discrepancy, $N(\varepsilon, s)$, defined as the minimum number of points required…

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…

Following a result of D.~Bylik and M.T.~Lacey from 2008 it is known that there exists an absolute constant $\eta>0$ such that the (unnormalized) $L^{\infty}$-norm of the three-dimensional discrepancy function, i.e, the (unnormalized) star…

For all $s \geq 1$ and $N \geq 1$ there exist sequences $(z_1,\ldots,z_N)$ in $[0,1]^s$ such that the star-discrepancy of these points can be bounded by $$D_N^*(z_1,\ldots,z_N) \leq c \frac{\sqrt{s}}{\sqrt{N}}.$$ The best known value for…

The $L_{\infty}$ star discrepancy is a measure for the regularity of a finite set of points taken from $[0,1)^d$. Low discrepancy point sets are highly relevant for Quasi-Monte Carlo methods in numerical integration and several other…

We show that the isotropic discrepancy of a lattice point set can be bounded from below and from above in terms of the spectral test of the corresponding integration lattice. From this we deduce that the isotropic discrepancy of any…

According to Aistleitner and Weimar, there exist two-dimensional (double) infinite matrices whose star-discrepancy $D_N^{*s}$ of the first $N$ rows and $s$ columns, interpreted as $N$ points in $[0,1]^s$, satisfies an inequality of the form…

For $f$ chosen from the $\{-1,1\}$-valued functions on the edges of a hypergraph $\mathcal{H} = (V,E)$ with $\sum_{e \in E} f(e) = 0$, how large can one make $\min_{v \in V} |\sum_{e \ni v} f(e)|$? This question may be viewed as a reverse…

We start by providing a very simple and elementary new proof of the classical bound due to J. Beck which states that the spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy of any $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$,…
