Abstract

L’inégalité d’Erdös-Turán mesure l’écart à l’équirépartition d’une suite quelconque du tore en fonction d’un paramètre arbitraire et de deux constantes absolues, c1 et c2. Nous montrons que c1≥ 1 et c2≥ 2/π, et nous fournissons un ensemble de couples admissibles (c1;c2) numériquement proches de l’optimum hypothétique (1;2/π), notamment (1;0,653) et (1,1435;2/π).

The Erdös-Turán inequality measures the distance from uniform distribution of any given sequence on the torus as a function of an arbitrary parameter and two constants, c1 and c2. We show that c1≥ 1 and c2≥ 2/π, and we provide a set of admissible pairs (c1;c2) that are numerically close to the hypothetical optimum (1;2/π), including (1;0.653) and (1.1435;2/π).
