Preintegration is a technique for high-dimensional integration over $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, which is designed to reduce an integral whose integrand contains kinks or jumps to a $(d-1)$-dimensional integral of a smooth function. The…
Pre-integration is an extension of conditional Monte Carlo to quasi-Monte Carlo and randomized quasi-Monte Carlo. It can reduce but not increase the variance in Monte Carlo. For quasi-Monte Carlo it can bring about improved regularity of…
Conditional Monte Carlo or pre-integration is a powerful tool for reducing variance and improving the regularity of integrands when using Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. To select the variable to pre-integrate, one must…
The quasi-Monte Carlo method is widely used in computational finance, whose efficiency strongly depends on the smoothness and effective dimension of the integrand. In this work, we investigate the combination of importance sampling and the…
In this paper, we study the approximation of $d$-dimensional $\rho$-weighted integrals over unbounded domains $\mathbb{R}_+^d$ or $\mathbb{R}^d$ using a special change of variables, so that quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) or sparse grid rules can…
In this note, we study a concatenation of quasi-Monte Carlo and plain Monte Carlo rules for high-dimensional numerical integration in weighted function spaces. In particular, we consider approximating the integral of periodic functions…
In this paper, we analyse a method for approximating the distribution function and density of a random variable that depends in a non-trivial way on a possibly high number of independent random variables, each with support on the whole real…
The efficient evaluation of high-dimensional integrals is of importance in both theoretical and practical fields of science, such as data science, statistical physics, and machine learning. However, exact computation methods suffer from the…
A technique for reducing the number of integrals in a Monte Carlo calculation is introduced. For integrations relying on classical or mean-field trajectories with local weighting functions, it is possible to integrate analytically at least…
When approximating the expectations of a functional of a solution to a stochastic differential equation, the numerical performance of deterministic quadrature methods, such as sparse grid quadrature and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, may…
We prove that a variant of the classical Sobolev space of first-order dominating mixed smoothness is equivalent (under a certain condition) to the unanchored ANOVA space on $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d \geq 1$. Both spaces are Hilbert spaces…
Monte Carlo integration using quantum computers has been widely investigated, including applications to concrete problems. It is known that quantum algorithms based on quantum amplitude estimation (QAE) can compute an integral with a…
Nested Monte Carlo is widely used for risk estimation, but its efficiency is limited by the discontinuity of the indicator function and high computational cost. This paper proposes a nested Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method combined with…
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…
In this paper we propose and analyse a method for estimating three quantities related to an Asian option: the fair price, the cumulative distribution function, and the probability density. The method involves preintegration with respect to…
We propose a methodology for computing single and multi-asset European option prices, and more generally expectations of scalar functions of (multivariate) random variables. This new approach combines the ability of Monte Carlo simulation…
We present a preconditioned Monte Carlo method for computing high-dimensional multivariate normal and Student-$t$ probabilities arising in spatial statistics. The approach combines a tile-low-rank representation of covariance matrices with…
In the present paper we study quasi-Monte Carlo rules for approximating integrals over the $d$-dimensional unit cube for functions from weighted Sobolev spaces of regularity one. While the properties of these rules are well understood for…
We survey old and new results about optimal algorithms for summation of finite sequences and for integration of functions from Hoelder or Sobolev spaces. First we discuss optimal deterministic and randomized algorithms. Then we add a new…
Antithetic sampling, which goes back to the classical work by Hammersley and Morton (1956), is one of the well-known variance reduction techniques for Monte Carlo integration. In this paper we investigate its application to digital nets…
