QMC Rules of Arbitrary High Order: Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space Approach

Abstract

In this paper we consider numerical integration of smooth functions lying in a particular reproducing kernel Hilbert space. We show that the worst-case error of numerical integration in this space converges at the optimal rate, up to some power of a log N factor. A similar result is shown for the mean square worst-case error, where the bound for the latter is always better than the bound for the square worst-case error. Finally, bounds for integration errors of functions lying in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space are given. The paper concludes by illustrating the theory with numerical results.
