The inequality is used to obtain an upper bound on the discrepancy of the sequence $\\alpha_n = na +b$, where $a$ and $b$ are elements of $\\ZZ_p$. This is a $p$-adic analogue of the classical LeVeque inequality on the circle group $\\RR/\\ZZ$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-03T00:20:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B99", "11K38", "11S82", "37P99", "43A75" ], "keywords": [ "adic integers", "leveque-type inequality", "discrepancy", "circle group", "fourier analysis" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
