Is this solution converging faster or slower than the simpler grid or totally random sampling strategies?
Is this solution converging faster or slower than the simpler grid or totally random sampling strategies?
: Lets see,
:* The Python grid uses 500*500 = 250000 points to get a value of 21.561559772.
:* After 200000 points, the Van der Corput has a value of 21.565708203389384
:* The given analytical solution is 21.565036603856395
:It looks as if the VdC does more with its 200K points than the grid with 250K, but I like the fact that the VdC generates a finer and finer grid as you take more points unlike the fixed box grid. (Plus I had stowed away the fact that VdC was used for Monte Carlo sims and wanted to try it out). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:07, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
