Abstract
The law of the iterated logarithm for discrepancies of {θ k x} is proved for θ < −1. When θ is not a power root of rational number, the limsup equals to 1/2. When θ is an odd degree power root of rational number, the limsup constants for ordinary discrepancy and star discrepancy are not identical.
