The subject of tractability is concerned with the dependence of the worst-case integration error on the dimension. Roughly speaking, an integration problem is tractable if the worst-case error does not explode exponentially with the dimension. Many classical problems are known to be intractable. However, sometimes tractability can be shown. Often such proofs are based on randomly selected integration nodes. Of course, in applications true random numbers are not available and hence one mimics them with pseudorandom number generators. This motivates us to propose the use of pseudorandom vectors as underlying integration nodes in order to achieve tractability. In particular, we consider digital inverse vectors and present two examples of problems, the weighted star discrepancy and integration of H\\\"older continuous, absolute convergent Fourier- and cosine series, where the proposed method is successful.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-21T08:31:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11K38", "11K45", "11T23", "65C05", "65C10" ], "keywords": [ "achieve strong polynomial tractability", "weighted star discrepancy", "digital inversive vectors", "multivariate integration", "applications true random numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151206521D" } } }
