This is in contrast to the classical star $L_p$ discrepancy, which uses exclusively intervals that are anchored in the origin as test sets. We show that for any dimension $d$ and any $p>1$ the extreme $L_p$ discrepancy of every infinite sequence in $[0,1)^d$ is at least of order of magnitude $(\\log N)^{d/2}$, where $N$ is the number of considered initial terms of the sequence. For $p \\in (1,\\infty)$ this order of magnitude is best possible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-14T06:11:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11K38", "11K06", "11K31" ], "keywords": [ "infinite sequence", "arbitrary dimension", "exact order", "discrepancy", "test sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
