Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation is widely used to price complex financial instruments Recent
theoretical results and extensive computer testing indicate that deterministic methods may
be far superior in speed and confidence. Simulations using the Sobol or Faure points are
examples of deterministic methods. For the sake of brevity
we refer to a deterministic
method using the name of the sequence of points which the method uses
(e.g.
Sobol
method.
