报告摘要:

     The Monte Carlo simulation method is indispensable to deal with high dimensional

problems so far. It is widely used in many fields. The main drawback of this method is the issue of slow convergence. To accelerate the convergence, variance reduction methods, effective dimension method, quasi-Monte Carlo methods, etc., and their combinations were developed. In this talk, we will introduce various speeding up methods of the Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods with applications to financial engineering and insurance. If time permits, I will also introduce applications of the Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods to other areas.
