In an impressive series of papers, Harald Niederreiter has established variants of this inequality and has proved bounds for the discrepancy for various sequences and point sets, in the context of pseudo-random number generation and in quasi-Monte Carlo methods. These results have been an important breakthrough, because they marked the starting point of a thorough theoretical correlation analysis of pseudo-random numbers. Niederreiter’s technique also prepared for the study of digital sequences, which are central to modern quasi-Monte Carlo methods. In this contribution, we present an overview of these concepts and prove a hybrid version of the inequality of Erdos-Turan-Koksma, thereby extending a recent result of Niederreiter.","PeriodicalId":352591,"journal":{"name":"Applied Algebra and Number Theory","volume":"693 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131954849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Periodicity and symmetry properties of these polynomials are also studied.
