On the acceleration of the multi-level Monte Carlo method

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The multi-level Monte Carlo method proposed by M. Giles (2008) approximates the expectation of some functionals applied to a stochastic process with optimal order of convergence for the mean-square error. In this paper, a modified multi-level Monte Carlo estimator is proposed with significantly reduced computational costs. As the main result, it is proved that the modified estimator reduces the computational costs asymptotically by a factor (p/alpha)2 if weak approximation methods of orders alpha and p are applied in case of computational costs growing with same order as variances decay.
