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:
“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 physicians say, they are not materialists; but they are:MSpirit is matter reduced to an extreme thinness: O so thin!—But the definition of spiritual should be, that which is its own evidence. What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
