Efficient tail estimation for sums of correlated lognormals
Our focus is on efficient estimation of tail probabilities of sums of correlated lognormals. This problem is motivated by the tail analysis of portfolios of assets driven by corre...

Computing the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator by a stochastic method
We describe a Monte Carlo method for the numerical computation of the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in a bounded domain with Dirichlet conditions. It is based on th...
