Stochastic Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods Mathematical Foundations of Stochastic Simulation

In various scientific and industrial fields, stochastic simulations are taking on a new importance. This is due to the increasing power of computers and practitioners’ aim to simulate more and more complex systems, and thus use random parameters as well as random noises to model the parametric uncer...
