The binding energy of the {Lambda}{Lambda} hypernucleus {sub {Lambda}{Lambda}}{sup 31}Si has been calculated variationally with a {sup 28}Si+{ital n}+{Lambda}+{Lambda} four-body model. The integrations have been carried out with the help of a Monte Carlo technique. Three different types of {Lambda}-{Lambda} and {Lambda}-{ital N} potentials have been used. {ital n}-{sup 28}Si and {Lambda}-{sup 28}Si potentials have been generated by folding the {ital N}-{ital N} and {Lambda}-{ital N} potentials into the harmonic-oscillator shell-model density distribution of {sup 28}Si. The calculated values of the binding energy for the three different potentials are 40.19, 46.30, and 39.90 MeV. These values are compared with the reported experimental value of 38.2{plus minus}6.3 MeV. The dependence of the binding energy on the depth of the {Lambda}-{Lambda} interaction has also been investigated.
