Weak multipliers for generalized van der Corput sequences (Q1940475)

For a fixed base \(b\geq 2\) and a permutation \(\sigma\) of \(\mathbb{Z}_b\), the generalized van der Corput sequence \(S_b^{\sigma}\) is defined by \[ S^{\sigma}_b(n)=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}\sigma(a_j(n))b^{-j-1}, \] where \(\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}a_j(n)b^j\) is the \(b\)-adic representation of the integer \(n\geq 1\). \textit{H. Chaix} and \textit{H. Faure} [Acta Arith. 63, 103--141 (1993; Zbl 0772.11022)] gave an explicit formula for the diaphony of \(S_b^{\sigma}\). In this paper, the author shows a new variation of the formula. Moreover, he investigates the asymptotic distribution behavior of two special classes of linear-like permutations.
