The following result is well-known (I consider the 3-dimensional case only): **Theorem:** if $f \in H^s(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with $ s > 3/2$ is compactly supported, then $$ \left| \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} f - \frac{1}{N^3} \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}^3} f \left (\frac{k}{N}\right)\right| \le C_s \dfrac{\| f \|_{H^s}}{N^s}. $$ Recall that $H^{3/2}(\mathbb{R}^3) \hookrightarrow C^0(\mathbb{R}^3)$ so that the point-wise estimates make sense. Now, I consider the following function. Let $\Psi$ be a $C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^3)$ radial cut-off function with $\Psi(0) = 1$ and $\Psi(x) = 0$ if $| x | > 1$, and let $$ f(x) = \frac{(x_1)^4}{| x |^4} \Psi(x). $$ I also set $f(0) = 0$ to simplify the notation. Note that $f$ is not continuous at the origin (hence $f \notin H^{3/2}(\mathbb{R}^3)$). **The question is:** what is the best constant $s$ so that $$ \left| \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} f - \frac{1}{N^3} \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}^3} f \left (\frac{k}{N}\right)\right| \le C_s N^{-s} \quad ? $$ Numerically, I observe $s = 3$ (with no doubt possible). I even observe that there exists a constant $C$ such that $$ \forall N, \quad \left| \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} f - \frac{1}{N^3} \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}^3} f \left (\frac{k}{N}\right) - \frac{C}{N^3}\right| \approx 0. $$ Unfortunately, I have a hard time to prove this fact (I got a proof for all $s < 3$,...). **Remark:** if we change the power $4$ to the power $2$, then a simple symmetry argument shows that $s = 3$, and the constant $C$ corresponds to a missing part in the Riemann-sum (__i.e.__ the $k = 0$ term).
