Net from Sequence
Every (t, s)-sequence in base b yields (t, m, s + 1)-nets in base b for all m ≥ t. If the sequence contains points x0,x1,… ∈ [0, 1]s with xi = (xi(1),…, xi(s)) and fixed b-adic expansion, then the net is given by the point set
where ⌊⋅⌋m denotes the m-digit truncation in base b. This result is due to [1, Lemma 1], based on the result for (t, s)-sequences in the narrow sense in [2, Lemma 5.15]. For base b = 2 see also [3, Theorem 5.2].
Every digital (t, s)-sequence over Fb defined by the s ∞×∞ matrices C1,…,Cs yields a digital (t, m, s + 1)-net over Fb for all m ≥ t defined by the m×m matrices C1ʹ,…,Cʹs,Cʹs+1, where Cʹi is the upper left m×m sub-matrix of Ci for i = 1,…, s and Cʹs+1 is the mirrored m×m identity matrix. It is easy to see that the resulting point set is the same as for the method described above.
