The spherical ensemble is a well-studied determinantal process with a fixed number of points on the sphere. The points of this process correspond to the generalized eigenvalues of two appropriately chosen random matrices, mapped to the…
We study equal weight numerical integration, or Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) rules, for functions in a Sobolev space $H^s(S^d)$ with smoothness parameter $s>d/2$ defined over the unit sphere $S^d$ in $R^{d+1}$. Focusing on $N$-point sets that…
We establish a deterministic and stochastic spherical quasi-interpolation framework featuring scaled zonal kernels derived from radial basis functions on the ambient Euclidean space. The method incorporates both quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte…
We study numerical integration on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ using equal weight quadrature rules, where the weights are such that constant functions are integrated exactly. The quadrature points are constructed by…
This paper provides a survey of spherical designs and their applications, with a particular emphasis on the perspective of ``numerical analysis''. A set \(X_N\) of \(N\) points on the unit sphere \(\mathbb{S}^d\) is called a…
In a recent article, Alishahi and Zamani discuss the spherical ensemble, a rotationally invariant determinantal point process on the 2-sphere. In this paper we extend this process in a natural way to the 2d-dimensional sphere. We prove that…
Spherical $t$-designs on $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ provide $N$ nodes for an equal weight numerical integration rule which is exact for all spherical polynomials of degree at most $t$. This paper considers the generation of…
Determinantal point processes exhibit an inherent repulsive behavior, thus providing examples of very evenly distributed point sets on manifolds. In this paper, we study the so-called harmonic ensemble, defined in terms of Laplace…
We define a determinantal point process on the complex projective space that reduces to the so-called spherical ensemble for complex dimension 1 under identification of the 2-sphere with the Riemann sphere. Through this determinantal point…
We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…
Quantum ensemble systems arise in a variety of applications, including NMR spectroscopy and robust quantum control. While their theoretical properties have been extensively studied, relatively little attention has been given to the explicit…
This is basically a review of the field of Quasi-Monte Carlo intended for computational physicists and other potential users of quasi-random numbers. As such, much of the material is not new, but is presented here in a style hopefully more…
The spherical orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic ensembles (SOE/SUE/SSE) $S_\beta(N,r)$ consist of $N \times N$ real symmetric, complex hermitian, and quaternionic self-adjoint matrices of Frobenius norm $r$, made into a probability space…
We study the induced spherical ensemble of non-Hermitian matrices with real quaternion entries (considering each quaternion as a $2\times 2$ complex matrix). We define the ensemble by the matrix probability distribution function that is…
Gerber and Chopin (2015) recently introduced Sequential quasi-Monte Carlo (SQMC) algorithms as an efficient way to perform filtering in state-space models. The basic idea is to replace random variables with low-discrepancy point sets, so as…
We define a family of random sets of points, the Diamond ensemble, on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ depending on several parameters. Its most important property is that, for some of these parameters, the asymptotic expected value of the…
Quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms are studied for designing discrete approximations of two-stage linear stochastic programs. Their integrands are piecewise linear, but neither smooth nor lie in the function spaces considered for QMC error…
The Sliced-Wasserstein (SW) distance between probability measures is defined as the average of the Wasserstein distances resulting for the associated one-dimensional projections. As a consequence, the SW distance can be written as an…
We discuss the problem of defining an estimate for the error in quasi-Monte Carlo integration. The key issue is the definition of an ensemble of quasi-random point sets that, on the one hand, includes a sufficiency of equivalent point sets,…
We study quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) integration over the multi-dimensional unit cube in several weighted function spaces with different smoothness classes. We consider approximating the integral of a function by the median of several integral…
