Monte Carlo Extension of Quasi-monte Carlo

This paper surveys recent research on using Monte Carlo techniques to improve quasi-Monte Carlo techniques. Randomized quasi-Monte Carlo methods provide a basis for error estimation. They have, in the special case of scrambled nets, also been observed to improve accuracy. Finally through Latin supercube sampling it is possible to use Monte Carlo methods to extend quasi-Monte Carlo methods to hi...

Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods

Monte Carlo is one of the most versatile and widely used numerical methods. Its convergence rate, O(N~^), is independent of dimension, which shows Monte Carlo to be very robust but also slow. This article presents an introduction to Monte Carlo methods for integration problems, including convergence theory, sampling methods and variance reduction techniques. Accelerated convergence for Monte Ca...

Error in Monte Carlo, quasi-error in Quasi-Monte Carlo

While the Quasi-Monte Carlo method of numerical integration achieves smaller integration error than standard Monte Carlo, its use in particle physics phenomenology has been hindered by the abscence of a reliable way to estimate that error. The standard Monte Carlo error estimator relies on the assumption that the points are generated independently of each other and, therefore, fails to account ...

Quasi-Monte Carlo Radiosity

The problem of global illumination in computer graphics is described by a second kind Fredholm integral equation Due to the com plexity of this equation Monte Carlo methods provide an interesting tool for approximating solutions to this transport equation For the case of the radiosity equation we present the deterministic method of quasi random walks This method very e ciently uses low discrepa...
