Abstract

We consider a new averaging technique for studying the complexity of weighted multivariate integration problems. While the standard averaging requires that ∫D K (x, x) ρ (x) d x < ∞, our new technique works under a less restrictive condition ∫D sqrt(K (x, x)) ρ (x) d x < ∞. It allows us to conclude the existence of algorithms with the worst case errors bounded by O (n- 1 / 2) for a wider class of problems than the techniques used so far. It also leads to more refined sufficient conditions for tractability of the multivariate integration problems, as well as a new class of randomized algorithms with errors bounded by O (n- 1 sqrt(ln (ln (n)))).
