Combinatorics and Algorithms on Low-Discrepancy Roundings of a Real Sequence

摘要

In this paper, we discuss the problem of computing all the integral sequences obtained by rounding an input real valued sequence such that the discrepancy between the input sequence and each output integral sequence is less than one. We show that the number of such roundings is n + 1 if we consider the discrepancy with respect to the set of all subintervals, and give an efficient algorithm to report all of them. Then, we give an optimal method to construct a compact graph to represent the set of global roundings satisfying a weaker discrepancy condition.
