On low discrepancy sequences and low discrepancy ergodic transformations of the multidimensional unit cube (Q607826)

The author of this paper studies certain ergodic transformations defined by the means of lattices, which are discrete subgroups \(\Gamma\subseteq\mathbb{R}^s\) with a compact fundamental set \(\mathbb{R}^s /\Gamma\). A lattice is called admissible if \[ \inf_{(\gamma_1,\dots,\gamma_s)\in\Gamma\setminus\{0\}}|\gamma_1\gamma_2\cdots\gamma_s|>0. \] Using admissible lattices, two special ergodic transformations with links to classical uniformly distributed sequences are defined. These are called \(T_{1,\Gamma}\) (a transformation related to Kronecker sequences) and \(T_{2,\Gamma}\) (a transformation related to van der Corput sequences). The author then shows that the sequences \((T_{1,\Gamma}^n(x))_{n\geq 0}\) and \((T_{2,\Gamma}^n(x))_{n\geq 0}\) are sequences of low discrepancy for any admissible lattice \(\Gamma\) and all \(x\in[0,1)^s\). The paper includes results on the \(L_{\infty}\) as well as \(L_p\) discrepancies of these sequences. Furthermore, the author proves results on a lattice point problem for compact polyhedra. These are again based on the ergodic transformations \(T_{1,\Gamma}\) and \(T_{2,\Gamma}\).
