Quasi-Monte Carlo method

In numerical analysis, quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for numerical integration and solving some other problems using low-discrepancy sequences (also called quasi-random sequences or sub-random sequences). This is in contrast to the regular Monte Carlo method or Monte Carlo integration, which are based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers.
Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods are stated in a similar way.
The problem is to approximate the integral of a function ''f'' as the average of the function evaluated at a set of points ''x''1, ..., ''x''''N'':
: \int_ f(u)\,u \approx \frac\,\sum_^N f(x_i).
Since we are integrating over the ''s''-dimensional unit cube, each ''x''''i'' is a vector of ''s'' elements. The difference between quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo is the way the xi are chosen. Quasi-Monte Carlo uses a low-discrepancy sequence such as the Halton sequence, the Sobol sequence, or the Faure sequence, whereas Monte Carlo uses a pseudorandom sequence. The advantage of using low-discrepancy sequences is a faster rate of convergence. Quasi-Monte Carlo has a rate of convergence close to O(1/N), whereas the rate for the Monte Carlo method is O(N−0.5).〔Søren Asmussen and Peter W. Glynn, ''Stochastic Simulation: Algorithms and Analysis'', Springer, 2007, 476 pages〕
The Quasi-Monte Carlo method recently became popular in the area of mathematical finance or computational finance.〔 In these areas, high-dimensional numerical integrals, where the integral should be evaluated within a threshold ε, occur frequently. Hence, the Monte Carlo method and the quasi-Monte Carlo method are beneficial in these situations.
== Approximation error bounds of quasi-Monte Carlo ==
The approximation error of the quasi-Monte Carlo method is bounded by a term proportional to the discrepancy of the set ''x''1, ..., ''x''''N''. Specifically, the Koksma-Hlawka inequality states that the error
: \epsilon = \left| \int_ f(u)\,u - \frac\,\sum_^N f(x_i) \right|
is bounded by
: |\epsilon| \leq V(f) D_N ,
where V(f) is the Hardy-Krause variation of the function f (see Morokoff and Caflisch (1995) 〔 for the detailed definitions). DN is the discrepancy of the set (x1,...,xN) and is defined as
: D_N = \sup_ \left| \frac - \mbox(Q)\right| ,
where Q is a rectangular solid in ()s with sides parallel to the coordinate axes.〔 The inequality |\epsilon| \leq V(f) D_N can be used to show that the error of the approximation by the quasi-Monte Carlo method is O\left(\frac\right) , whereas the Monte Carlo method has a probabilistic error of O\left(\frac{\sqrt{N}}\right) . Though we can only state the upper bound of the approximation error, the convergence rate of quasi-Monte Carlo method in practice is usually much faster than its theoretical bound.〔 Hence, in general, the accuracy of the quasi-Monte Carlo method increases faster than that of the Monte Carlo method.
