The Halton sequence and its discrepancy in the Cantor expansion

Abstract

We consider variants of the Halton sequence in a generalized numeration system, called the Cantor expansion. We show that it provides a wealth of low-discrepancy sequences by giving an estimate of the (star) discrepancy of the Halton sequence in each bounded Cantor base. The techniques used in our estimation of the discrepancy are adapted from those developed by E.I. Atanassov.
