New lower bounds to wrap-around \(L_2\)-discrepancy for U-type designs with three-level (Q2274174)

In this paper, the authors prove a new lower bound for the wrap-around \(L_2\)-discrepancy for 3-level symmetric U-type designs. The proposed lower bound is based on the analysis of the coincidences in the design matrix. A simulation study and three numerical examples are presented to compare the new lower bound with other known bounds and it is shown that the new lower bound is in general better than other lower bounds in the literature.
