Abstract

This paper studies several well-known families of (t,s)-sequences. First we determine the exact t-value of Niederreiter sequences. Then we analyze the exact t-value of generalized Niederreiter sequences and we show that, for a range of dimensions of practical interest, Niederreiter-Xing sequences are demonstrably better than Sobol' sequences in terms of the exact t-value. Previously, such a conclusion was not possible since only upper bounds on the exact t-value of these sequences and a general lower bound for all (t,s)-sequences were available.
