Definition
For arbitrary points the discrepancy is defined by, where the supremum is extended over all subintervals of, is times the number of points among falling into J and V(J) denotes the s-dimensional volume of J.
Until now, we had sequences of integers from 0 to T-1, in order to have sequences of, one can divide a sequences of integers by its period T.
From this definition, we can say that if the sequence is perfectly random then its well distributed on the interval then and all points are in J so hence but instead if the sequence is concentrated close to one point then the subinterval J is very small and so Then we have from the better and worst case: .

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
