The Monte Carlo (MC) method is a simple but effective way to perform simulations involving complicated or multivariate functions. The QuasiMonte Carlo (QMC) method is similar but...
In this paper, we consider equity-linked life insurance contracts that give their holder the possibility to surrender their policy before maturity. Such contracts can be valued us...
Abstract. The convergence of Monte Carlo method for numerical integration can often be improved by replacing pseudorandom numbers (PRNs) with more uniformly distributed numbers kno...
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
Abstract. Monte Carlo (MC) methods have proved to be flexible, robust and very useful techniques in computational finance. Several studies have investigated ways to achieve greater...
