Random and quasirandom sequences: Numerical estimates of uniformity of distribution (Q1324239)

Using the range, a new measure of irregularity of distribution introduced by the first author and \textit{O. V. Nuzhdin} [J. Number Theory 39, 367-373 (1991; Zbl 0743.11039)], the authors compare numerically the effectiveness of using the random and quasirandom sequences of multidimensional points, such as the Halton sequence, the first author's \(\text{LP}_ \tau\)-sequence and the Fauré sequence, in certain computational algorithms. Numerical results support their conjectures concerning the expedience of using these quasirandom sequences, and seem to be a motivation of theoretical research.
