Uniform designs based on Latin squares

Uniform designs (UDs) have been widely used in various fields. Traditionall y they were generated by so-called good lattice point (glp) sets. In this p aper, we propose a new approach based on cyclic Latin squares (CLS). The UD s generated have much smaller discrepancies than those proposed by Wang and Fang (1981). A threshold accepting algorithm is employed for finding the C LS with smallest L-2-discrepancy.
