Abstract
We produce low-discrepancy infinite sequences which can be used to approximate the integral of a smooth periodic function restricted to a smooth convex domain with positive curvature in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). The proof depends on simultaneous Diophantine approximation and on appropriate estimates of the decay of the Fourier transform of characteristic functions.
Dedicated to Ian H. Sloan on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
