Abstract

For numerical integration and many other purposes, Monte Carlo methods have been used for a long time. Newer developments replace the pseudorandom sequences of Monte Carlo methods by deterministic sequences (quasirandom or low-discrepancy sequences), and the methods are then called quasi-Monte Carlo methods. In this paper we outline several theoretical aspects of such deterministic sequences, show two examples of low-discrepancy sequences, and present the results of an empirical study.
