On The Classification of Ls-Sequences

Abstract

Abstract This paper addresses the question whether the LS-sequences constructed in [Car12] yield indeed a new family of low-discrepancy sequences. While it is well known that the case S = 0 corresponds to van der Corput sequences, we prove here that the case S = 1 can be traced back to symmetrized Kronecker sequences and moreover that for S ≥ 2 none of these two types occurs anymore. In addition, our approach allows for an improved discrepancy bound for S = 1 and L arbitrary.
