On discrete universality of the Riemann zeta-function with respect to uniformly distributed shifts

The Voronin universality theorem asserts that a wide class of analytic functions can be approximated by shifts \(\zeta (s+i\tau )\), \(\tau \in \mathbb {R}\), of the Riemann zeta-function. In the paper, we obtain a universality theorem on the approximation of analytic functions by discrete shifts \(\zeta (s+ix_kh)\), \(k\in \mathbb {N}\), \(h>0\), where \(\{x_k\}\subset \mathbb {R}\) is such that the sequence \(\{ax_k\}\) with every real \(a\ne 0\) is uniformly distributed modulo 1, \(1\le x_k\le k\) for all \(k\in \mathbb {N}\) and, for \(1\le k\), \(m\le N\), \(k\ne m\), the inequality \(|x_k-x_m| \ge y^{-1}_N\) holds with \(y_N> 0\) satisfying \(y_Nx_N\ll N\).
