Bad Lattice Points

We introduce and discuss the term “bad lattice points” which can be seen as a counterpart to the method of good lattice points for Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo integration. We show several examples of the occurrence of bad lattice points in the latter fields and perform a computer search for such point sets.
