A quasi-Monte Carlo Metropolis algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2005
This work presents a version of the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm using quasi-Monte Carlo inputs. We prove that the method yields consistent estimates in some problems with finite state spaces and completely uniformly distributed inputs. In some numerical examples, the proposed method is much more accurate than ordinary Metropolis–Hastings sampling.

Quasi-Monte Carlo based uncertainty analysis: Sampling efficiency and error estimation in engineering applications

open access: yesReliability Engineering and System Safety, 2019
In this paper, the potential benefits of quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods for uncertainty propagation are assessed via two applications: a numerical case study and a realistic and complex building physical case study. The sampling efficiency of four quasi-

p-Refined Multilevel Quasi-Monte Carlo for Galerkin Finite Element Methods with Applications in Civil Engineering

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2020
Civil engineering applications are often characterized by a large uncertainty on the material parameters. Discretization of the underlying equations is typically done by means of the Galerkin Finite Element method. The uncertain material parameter can be

Error estimation for quasi-Monte Carlo

open access: yesarXiv.org
Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling can attain far better accuracy than plain Monte Carlo sampling. However, with plain Monte Carlo sampling it is much easier to estimate the attained accuracy.

Density Estimation by Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo

open access: yesMonte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods, 2021
Estimating the density of a continuous random variable X has been studied extensively in statistics, in the setting where n independent observations of X are given a priori and one wishes to estimate the density from that.

Ionization cross sections for collisions between fully stripped ions and ground state hydrogen atoms using the quasi-classical trajectory Monte Carlo method [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
We present ionization cross sections for collisions between fully stripped ions and ground state hydrogen atoms. In these calculations, we employ the standard three-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) and quasi-classical trajectory Monte Carlo ...

Assessment of randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo method efficiency in radiative heat transfer simulations

open access: yesJournal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2019
Radiation can play a central role in turbulent reactive flows where heat transfer is enhanced in applications with high temperature and pressure. The Monte Carlo method is a successful technique to solve the radiative transfer equation accurately with ...
