Discrepancy of Cartesian Products of Arithmetic Progressions
Discrepancy of Cartesian Products of Arithmetic Progressions
We determine the combinatorial discrepancy of the hypergraph ${\cal H}$ of cartesian products of $d$ arithmetic progressions in the $[N]^d$–lattice ($[N] = \{0,1,\ldots,N-1\}$). The study of such higher dimensional arithmetic progressions is motivated by a multi-dimensional version of van der Waerden's theorem, namely the Gallai-theorem (1933). We solve the discrepancy …
