Abstract

Recently, Fialov´a and Strauch, Uniform Distribution Theory, 6(1):101-125, 2011, calculated the asymptotic distribution function (adf) of the two-dimensional sequence (φ b(n), φ b(n + 1))n≥0, where (φ b(n))n≥0 denotes the van der Corput sequence in base b. In the present paper we solve the general problem asking for the limit distribution of (φ b(n), φ b(n+1), . . . , φ b(n+s−1))n≥0. We use the fact that the van der Corput sequence can be seen as the orbit of the origin under the ergodic von Neumann-Kakutani transformation.


Keywords

van der Corput sequence, von Neumann-Kakutani transformation, ergodic theory, low discrepancy sequences.
