Star discrepancy estimates for digital \((t,m,2)\)-nets and digital \((t,2)\)-sequences over \(\mathbb Z_2\) (Q2368574)

The authors prove that for the star discrepancy of digital \((t,m,2)\)-nets over \(\mathbb Z_2\) the upper estimate \(2^mD^*_{2^m}(P)\leqq 2^t((m-t)/3+19/9)\) holds. This is a generalization of the result on \((0,m,2)\)-nets of \textit{G. Larcher} and \textit{F. Pillichshammer} [Acta Arith. 106, 379--408 (2003; Zbl 1054.11039)]. It is shown that the constant in the estimate is best possible. An upper bound for the star discrepancy of digital \((t,2)\)-sequences over \(\mathbb Z_2\) is given. This is a generalization of the result on \((0,2)\)-sequences of \textit{F. Pillichshammer} [Acta Arith. 108, 167--189 (2003; Zbl 1054.11040)].
