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:
“It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“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)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
