%0 Journal Article %T A Lower Bound for the Diaphony of Generalised van der Corput Sequences in Arbitrary Base $b$ %A Florian Pausinger %A Wolfgang Ch. Schmid %J Uniform Distribution Theory %D 2011 %I Mathematical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences %X The diaphony is a common measure for uniformity of a given infinite sequence. We discuss a method of Faure which he used to obtain an upper bound for the diaphony of generalised van der Corput sequences in arbitrary base $b$. We extend this method to derive a lower bound as well as a criterion to decide whether two sequences have the same distribution behaviour. %K Diaphony %K generalised van der Corput sequence %U http://www.boku.ac.at/MATH/udt/vol06/no2/03PausSchmid.pdf
