Abstract

It is known that the discrepancy DN{ kx} of the sequence { kx} satisfies NDN{ kx} = O((log N) (log log N) 1 + ε) a.e. for all ε> 0 , but not for ε= 0. For nk= θk, θ> 1 we have NDN{ nkx} ≦ (Σ θ+ ε) (2 Nlog log N) 1 / 2 a.e. for some 0 < Σ θ< ∞ and N≧ N0 if ε> 0 , but not for ε< 0. In this paper we prove, extending results of Aistleitner–Larcher [6], that for any sufficiently smooth intermediate speed Ψ (N) between (log N) (log log N) 1 + ε and (Nlog log N) 1 / 2 and for any Σ > 0 , there exists a sequence { nk} of positive integers such that NDN{ nkx} ≦ (Σ + ε) Ψ (N) eventually holds a.e. for ε> 0 , but not for ε< 0. We also consider a similar problem on the growth of trigonometric sums. © 2016, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
