Notes on lattice rules.

Journal Article · · J. Complexity
An elementary introduction to lattices, integration lattices and lattice rules is followed by a description of the role of the dual lattice in assessing the trigonometric degree of a lattice rule. The connection with the classical lattice-packing problem is established: any s-dimensional cubature rule can be associated with an index {rho}={delta}{sup s}/s!N, where {delta} is the enhanced degree of the rule and N its abscissa count. For lattice rules, this is the packing factor of the associated dual lattice with respect to the unit s-dimensional octahedron. An individual cubature rule may be represented as a point on a plot of {rho} against {delta}. Two of these plots are presented. They convey a clear idea of the relative cost-effectiveness of various individual rules and sequences of rules.
