Abstract:
We describe the construction of a piecewise polynomial generator over a Galois ring and prove a transitivity criterion for it. We give an estimate for the discrepancy of the output sequences of such a generator. We show that the obtained estimate is asymptotically equivalent to known estimates for special cases of a piecewise polynomial generator, and in some cases it is asymptotically sharper.
Keywords:piecewise polynomial sequences, Galois ring, distribution of elements in a sequence, discrepancy, exponential sums.
