Abstract

We find the best asymptotic lower bounds for the coefficient of the leading term of the ${L}_{1} $ norm of the two-dimensional axis-parallel discrepancy that can be obtained by Roth’s orthogonal function method among a large class of test functions. We use methods of combinatorics, probability, and complex and harmonic analysis.
