On distribution functions of ξ(3/2)ⁿ mod 1
We study a special class of -nets in base 2. In particular, we are concerned with the two-dimensional Hammersley net that plays a special role among these since we prove that it is the worst distributed with respect to the star discrepancy. By showing this, we also improve an existing upper bound for the star discrepancy of digital -nets over . Moreover, we show that nets with very low star discrepancy can be obtained by transforming the Hammersley point set in a suitable way.
We show that for any irrational number α and a sequence of integers such that , there exists a continuous measure μ on the circle such that . This implies that any rigidity sequence of any ergodic transformation is a rigidity sequence for some weakly mixing dynamical system. On the other hand, we show that for any α ∈ ℝ - ℚ, there exists a sequence of integers such that and such that is dense on the circle if and only if θ ∉ ℚα + ℚ.
In this paper we analyze relations among several types of convergences of bounded sequences, in particulars among statistical convergence, -convergence, -convergence, almost convergence, strong -Cesàro convergence and uniformly strong -Cesàro convergence.
