چکیده

Techniques for using the Monte Carlo method to evaluate fuzzy Riemann integrals and improper fuzzy Riemann integrals are proposed in this paper. Owing to the α-level set of the (improper) fuzzy Riemann integral being the closed interval whose end points are the classical (improper) Riemann integrals, it is possible to invoke the Monte Carlo method to approximate the end points of the α-level closed intervals. We develop the strong law of large numbers for fuzzy random variables in order to give the techniques proposed for evaluating the (improper) fuzzy Riemann integrals using the Monte Carlo approach more theoretical support. The membership function of the (improper) fuzzy Riemann integral can be transformed into mathematical programming problems. Therefore, we can obtain the membership value by solving the mathematical programming problems using the commercial optimizer.  2001 Elsevier Science

Infinite-Dimensional Monte Carlo Integration

In mathematics, Monte Carlo integration is a technique for numerical integration using random numbers and a a particular Monte Carlo method numerically computes the Riemann integral. Whereas other algorithms usually evaluate the integrand at a regular grid, Monte Carlo randomly chooses points at which the integrand is evaluated. This method is particularly useful for higher-dimensional integral...

Yang-Mills Integrals for Orthogonal, Symplectic and Exceptional Groups

We apply numerical and analytic techniques to the study of Yang-Mills integrals with orthogonal, symplectic and exceptional gauge symmetries. The main focus is on the supersymmetric integrals, which correspond essentially to the bulk part of the Witten index for susy quantum mechanical gauge theory. We evaluate these integrals for D = 4 and group rank up to three, using Monte Carlo methods. Our...
