Abstract: It is well-known that digital (t,m,s)-nets and (Tfett,s)-sequences over a finite field have excellent properties when they are used as underlying nodes in quasi-Monte Carlo integration rules. One very general sub-class of digital nets are hyperplane nets which can be viewed as a generalization of cyclic nets and of polynomial lattice point sets. In this paper we introduce infinite versions of hyperplane nets and call these sequences hyperplane sequences. Our construction is based on the recent duality theory for digital sequences according to Dick and Niederreiter. We then analyze the equidistribution properties of hyperplane sequences in terms of the quality function Tfett and the star discrepancy.


In this paper the authors define the infinite analogous of the hyperplane nets, namely the hyperplane sequences, and study the equidistribution properties of such sequences. The main tool used in their construction is the duality theory for digital sequences recently introduced in [\textit{J. Dick} and \textit{H. Niederreiter}, J. Complexity 25, No. 5, 406--414 (2009; Zbl 1181.11049)]. A general form for the quality function of hyperplane sequences is determined and used to prove a characterization of all hyperplane sequences which are uniformly distributed modulo one (Theorem~6). The authors also give the generator matrices of hyperplane sequences and compare this class of sequences with the Larcher-Niederreiter sequences. Furthermore, the existence of hyperplane sequences with a small value of the quality function is proved and the correspondent upper bound for the star discrepancy is computed.
