Tractability of Multivariate Integration Using Low-Discrepancy Sequences

Abstract

Abstract We propose a notion of (t, e, s)-sequences in multiple bases, which unifies the Halton sequence and (t, s)-sequences under one roof, and obtain an upper bound of their discrepancy consisting only of the leading term. By using this upper bound, we improve the tractability results currently known for the Halton sequence, the Niederreiter sequence, the Sobol’ sequence, and the generalized Faure sequence, and also give tractability results for the Xing-Niederreiter sequence and the Hofer-Niederreiter sequence, for which no results have been known so far.
