In this paper we study lattice rules which are cubature formulae to approximate integrands over the unit cube $[0,1]^s$ from a weighted reproducing kernel Hilbert space. We assume that the weights are independent random variables with a…
Consider the numerical integration $${\rm Int}_{\mathbb S^d,w}(f)=\int_{\mathbb S^d}f({\bf x})w({\bf x}){\rm d}\sigma({\bf x}) $$ for weighted Sobolev classes $BW_{p,w}^r(\mathbb S^d)$ with a Dunkl weight $w$ and weighted Besov classes…
We consider the efficient construction of polynomial lattice rules, which are special cases of so-called quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) rules. These are of particular interest for the approximate computation of multivariate integrals where the…
We compare the integration error of Monte Carlo (MC) and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods for approximating the normalizing constant of posterior distributions and certain marginal likelihoods. In doing so, we characterize the dependency of…
We describe the effect of ramified morphisms on Harbourne constants of reduced effective divisors. With this goal, we introduce the pullback of a weighted cluster of infinitely near points under a dominant morphism between surfaces, and…
This paper considers two notions of effective dimension for quadrature in weighted pre-Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed partial derivatives. We begin by finding a ball in those spaces just barely large enough to contain a function with…
We consider the order of convergence for linear and nonlinear Monte Carlo approximation of compact embeddings from Sobolev spaces of dominating mixed smoothness defined on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ into the space $L_{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^d)$…
Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers produce dependent streams of variates drawn from the limiting distribution of the Markov chain. With this as motivation, we introduce novel univariate kernel density estimators which are appropriate for the…
We establish a modified pointwise convex body domination for vector-valued Haar shifts in the nonhomogeneous setting, strengthening and extending the scalar case developed in arXiv:2309.13943. Moreover, we identify a subclass of shifts,…
Covariance function estimation is a fundamental task in multivariate functional data analysis and arises in many applications. In this paper, we consider estimating sparse covariance functions for high-dimensional functional data, where the…
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…
We study a Monte Carlo algorithm that is based on a specific (randomly shifted and dilated) lattice point set. The main result of this paper is that the mean squared error for a given compactly supported, square-integrable function is…
We consider the computational efficiency of Monte Carlo (MC) and Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods applied to partial differential equations with random coefficients. These arise, for example, in groundwater flow modelling, where a…
I consider the problem of integrating a function $f$ over the $d$-dimensional unit cube. I describe a multilevel Monte Carlo method that estimates the integral with variance at most $\epsilon^{2}$ in $O(d+\ln(d)d_{t}\epsilon^{-2})$ time,…
We study the hard-core model defined on independent sets, where each independent set I in a graph G is weighted proportionally to $\lambda^{|I|}$, for a positive real parameter $\lambda$. For large $\lambda$, computing the partition…
We establish a two-weight fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev sandwich, consisting of a two-weight fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequality and a two-weight embedding from the first-order Sobolev space to a Triebel-Lizorkin space defined via a…
The purely numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals and amplitudes can be a viable alternative to analytic approaches, in particular in the presence of several mass scales, provided sufficient accuracy can be achieved in an acceptable…
We present an algorithm for multivariate integration over cubes that is unbiased and has optimal order of convergence (in the randomized sense as well as in the worst case setting) for all Sobolev spaces $H^{r, mix}([0,1]^d)$ and…
Monte Carlo methods are widely used for approximating complicated, multidimensional integrals for Bayesian inference. Population Monte Carlo (PMC) is an important class of Monte Carlo methods, which utilizes a population of proposals to…
Importance sampling (IS) is valuable in reducing the variance of Monte Carlo sampling for many areas, including finance, rare event simulation, and Bayesian inference. It is natural and obvious to combine quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods…
