Introduction to Quasi-Monte Carlo Integration and Applications
暫譯: 準蒙特卡羅積分及其應用導論

Leobacher, Gunther, Pillichshammer, Friedrich

商品描述

This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to quasi-Monte Carlo methods and several of their applications. Throughout, the authors use modern concepts and notations to provide an overview of how the theory behind quasi-Monte Carlo methods developed. While the main focus of this text is on the theory, it also explores several applications with a particular emphasis on financial problems.

This second edition contains substantial revisions and additions, including several new sections that more thoroughly cover weighted problems. New sections include coverage of the weighted Koksma-Hlawka inequality, weighted discrepancy of lattice point sets and tractability properties, polynomial lattice point sets, and more. In addition, the authors have corrected minor errors from the first edition and updated the bibliography and "Further reading" sections.

Introduction to Quasi-Monte Carlo Integration and Applications is suitable for advanced undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science. Readers should possess a basic knowledge of algebra, calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory. It may also be used for self-study or as a reference for researchers interested in the area.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供了對準蒙地卡羅方法及其幾個應用的全面介紹。全書中,作者使用現代概念和符號來概述準蒙地卡羅方法背後理論的發展。雖然本書的主要重點在於理論,但也探討了幾個應用,特別強調金融問題。

本第二版包含了大量的修訂和新增內容,包括幾個新章節,更全面地涵蓋加權問題。新章節包括加權 Koksma-Hlawka 不等式、格點點集的加權差異性和可處理性特徵、多項式格點點集等。此外,作者已修正了第一版中的小錯誤,並更新了參考文獻和「進一步閱讀」部分。

《準蒙地卡羅積分及其應用導論》適合數學和計算機科學的高年級本科生閱讀。讀者應具備基本的代數、微積分、線性代數和概率論知識。本書也可用於自學或作為對該領域感興趣的研究者的參考資料。
