Everything about Discrepancy theory
Theory of irregularities of distribution
In mathematics, discrepancy theory describes the deviation of a situation from the state one would like it to be in. It is also called the theory of irregularities of distribution. This refers to the theme of classical discrepancy theory, namely distributing points in some space such that they are evenly distributed with respect to some subsets. The discrepancy (irregularity) measures how far a given distribution deviates from an ideal one. Wikipedia →
