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:
“Although there is no universal agreement as to a definition of life, its biological manifestations are generally considered to be organization, metabolism, growth, irritability, adaptation, and reproduction.”
—The Columbia Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition, the first sentence of the article on “life” (based on wording in the First Edition, 1935)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
