Dirichlet forms in simulation

Abstract

Equipping the probability space with a local Dirichlet form with square field operator Γ\Gamma and generator AA allows to improve Monte Carlo computations of expectations, densities, and conditional expectations, as soon as we are able to simulate a random variable XX together with Γ[X]\Gamma[X] and A[X]A[X]. We give examples on the Wiener space, on the Poisson space and on the Monte Carlo space. When XX is real-valued we give an explicit formula yielding the density at the speed of the law of large numbers.
