Fast Generation of Randomized Low-Discrepancy Point Sets

We introduce two novel techniques for speeding up the generation of digital (t,s)-sequences. Based on these results a new algorithm for the construction of Owen's randomly permuted (t,s)—sequences is developed and analyzed. An implementation is available at http://www. mcqmc. org/Sof tware. html.
