Abstract: Recently, He and Owen (2016) proposed the use of Hilbert's space filling curve (HSFC) in numerical integration as a way of reducing the dimension from d>1 to d=1. This paper studies the asymptotic normality of the HSFC-based estimate when using scrambled van der Corput sequence as input. We show that the estimate has an asymptotic normal distribution for functions in C1([0,1]d), excluding the trivial case of constant functions. The asymptotic normality also holds for discontinuous functions under mild conditions. It was previously known only that scrambled (0,m,d)-net quadratures enjoy the asymptotic normality for smooth enough functions, whose mixed partial gradients satisfy a H"older condition. As a by-product, we find lower bounds for the variance of the HSFC-based estimate. Particularly, for nontrivial functions in C1([0,1]d), the low bound is of order n−1−2/d, which matches the rate of the upper bound established in He and Owen (2016).
