Abstract

In this overview we show by examples, how to associate certain sequences in the higher-dimensional unit cube to suitable dynamical systems. We present methods and notions from ergodic theory that serve as tools for the study of low-discrepancy sequences and discuss an important technique, cutting- and-stacking of intervals.


Keywords

low-discrepancy sequences, b-adic integers, irregularity of distribution, discrepancy, dynamical systems.
