Abstract
In this article we focus on two aspects of one-dimensional diaphony of generalised van der Corput sequences in arbitrary bases. First we give a permutation with the best distribution behaviour concerning the diaphony known so far. We improve a result of Chaix and Faure from 1993 from a value of 1.31574 . . . for a permutation in base 19 to 1.13794 . . . for our permutation in base 57. Moreover for an infinite sequence X and its symmetric version , we analyse the connection between the diaphony F(X, N) and the L2-discrepancy using another result of Chaix and Faure. Therefore we state an idea how to get a lower bound for the diaphony of generalised van der Corput sequences in arbitrary base b.
