Tractability of Integration in Non-periodic and Periodic Weighted Tensor Product Hilbert Spaces
AbstractWe study strong tractability and tractability of multivariate integration in the worst case setting. This problem is considered in weighted tensor product reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We analyze three variants of the classical Sobolev space of non-periodic and periodic functions whose first mixed derivatives are square integrable. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on strong tractability and tractability in terms of the weights of the spaces. For the three Sobolev spaces periodicity has no significant effect on strong tractability and tractability. In contrast, for general reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces anything can happen: we may have strong tractability or tractability for the non-periodic case and intractability for the periodic one, or vice versa
Tractability of multivariate analytic problems
In the theory of tractability of multivariate problems one usually studies
problems with finite smoothness. Then we want to know which -variate
problems can be approximated to within by using, say,
polynomially many in and function values or arbitrary
linear functionals.
There is a recent stream of work for multivariate analytic problems for which
we want to answer the usual tractability questions with
replaced by . In this vein of research, multivariate
integration and approximation have been studied over Korobov spaces with
exponentially fast decaying Fourier coefficients. This is work of J. Dick, G.
Larcher, and the authors. There is a natural need to analyze more general
analytic problems defined over more general spaces and obtain tractability
results in terms of and .
The goal of this paper is to survey the existing results, present some new
results, and propose further questions for the study of tractability of
multivariate analytic questions
Some Results on the Complexity of Numerical Integration
This is a survey (21 pages, 124 references) written for the MCQMC 2014
conference in Leuven, April 2014. We start with the seminal paper of Bakhvalov
(1959) and end with new results on the curse of dimension and on the complexity
of oscillatory integrals. Some small errors of earlier versions are corrected
