Discrepancy estimates for index-transformed uniformly distributed sequences

In this paper we show discrepancy bounds for index-transformed uniformly distributed sequences. From a general result we deduce very tight lower and upper bounds on the discrepancy of index-transformed van der Corput-, Halton-, and $(t,s)$-sequences indexed by the sum-of-digits function. We also analyze the discrepancy of sequences indexed by other functions, such as, e.g., $\lfloor n^{\alpha }\rfloor$ with $0<\alpha <1$.
