    Discrepancy Theorem

    Definition

    Let s_1, s_2, ... be an infinite series of real numbers lying between 0 and 1. Then corresponding to any arbitrarily large K, there exists a positive integer n and two subintervals of equal length such that the number of s_ν with ν = 1, 2, ..., n which lie in one of the subintervals differs from the number of such s_ν that lie in the other subinterval by more than K (van der Corput 1935ab, van Aardenne-Ehrenfest 1945, 1949, Roth 1954).
