متن کاملUsing Lattice Rules to Value Low-Dimensional Derivative Contracts
This paper discusses the use of lattice rules to evaluate low and medium dimensional integrals. Lattice rules are based on the use of deterministic sequences rather than random sequences. They are a special type of so-called low discrepancy sequences. We find that as long as the integral is sufficiently regular, lattice rules generally outperform not only basic Monte Carlo but also other types ...
