Liberating the Dimension for Function Approximation and Integration

We discuss recent results on the complexity and tractability of problems dealing with ∞-variate functions. Such problems, especially path integrals, arise in many areas including mathematical finance, quantum physics and chemistry, and stochastic differential equations. It is possible to replace the ∞-variate problem by one that has only d variables since the difference between the two problems...

In this paper, we extend this nascent area of research on the consequences of creativity by showing that working on a creative task can contribute to feelings of liberation— feelings that can he...
