- Description:
- The classic error bounds for quasi-Monte Carlo approximation follow the Koksma-Hlawka inequality based on the assumption that the integrand has finite variation. Unfortunately, not all functions have this property. In particular, integrands for common applications in finance, such as option pricing, do not typically have bounded variation. In contrast to...

- Description:
- The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an environment rich in structural and signaling molecules, including growth factors and cytokines. Together, these signals are capable of changing cellular morphology and gene expression in response to extracellular environmental cues. Structural proteins in the ECM such as laminin transduce their signals through integrin receptors...
