Precise distribution properties of the van der Corput sequence and related sequences (Q2571054): Difference between revisions

The authors study the \(L_p\)-discrepancies of the van der Corput sequence and certain more general digital \((0,1)\)-sequences. They show, that within this class the van der Corput sequence is the worst distributed one with respect to \(L_2\)-discrepancy. Furthermore, it is shown that the \(L_p\)-discrepancies of the van der Corput sequence satisfy a central limit theorem. The proofs depend on precise calculations of digital sums and Walsh series expansions.
