contents Despite possessing the low-discrepancy property, the classical d dimensional Halton sequence is known to exhibit poorly distributed projections when d becomes even moderately large. This, in turn, often implies bad performance when implemented in quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods in comparison to, for example, the Sobol' sequence. As an attempt to eradicate this issue, we propose an adapted Halton sequence built by integer and irrational based van der Corput sequences and show empirically improved performance with respect to the accuracy of estimates in numerical integration and simulation. In addition, for the first time, a scrambling algorithm is proposed for irrational based digital sequences.
