Abstract

To reduce randomness drastically in Monte Carlo (MC) integration, we propose a pairwise independent sampling, the dynamic random Weyl sampling (DRWS). DRWS is applicable even if the length of random bits to generate a sample may vary. The algorithm of DRWS is so simple that it works very fast, even though the pseudo-random generator, the source of randomness, might be slow. In particular, we can use a cryptographically secure pseudo-random generator for DRWS to obtain the most reliable numerical integration method for complicated functions.
