Inversive Congruential Generator - Lower Bound

Lower Bound

The discrepancy of arbitrary points satisfies

≥

for any nonzero lattice point, where denotes the number of nonzero coordinates of .

These two theorems show that the CIG is not perfect because the discrepancy is greater strictly than a positive value but also the CIG is not the worst generator as the discrepancy is lower than a value less than 1.

There exist also theorems which bound the average value of the discrepancy for Compound Inversive Generators and also ones which take values such that the discrepancy is bounded by some value depending on the parameters. For more details see the original paper.

Famous quotes containing the word bound:

    “Then comes my fit again. I had else been perfect,
    Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,
    As broad and general as the casing air.
    But now I am cabined, cribbed, confined, bound in
    To saucy doubts and fears.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The only way to spend New Year’s Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
