Efficient calculation of the worst-case error and (fast) component-by-component construction of higher order polynomial lattice rules
We show how to obtain a fast component-by-component construction algorithm
for higher order polynomial lattice rules. Such rules are useful for
multivariate quadrature of high-dimensional smooth functions over the unit cube
as they achieve the near optimal order of convergence. The main problem
addressed in this paper is to find an efficient way of computing the worst-case
error. A general algorithm is presented and explicit expressions for base~2 are
given. To obtain an efficient component-by-component construction algorithm we
exploit the structure of the underlying cyclic group.
We compare our new higher order multivariate quadrature rules to existing
quadrature rules based on higher order digital nets by computing their
worst-case error. These numerical results show that the higher order polynomial
lattice rules improve upon the known constructions of quasi-Monte Carlo rules
based on higher order digital nets
