Abstract

In this paper, we first give a brief overview of discrepancy theory, then introduce low-discrepancy sequences, in particular, the original Faure and generalized Faure sequences. Next, we describe how to apply them to the problem of pricing financial derivatives, along with a successful application of this technique to the valuation of the present value of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Finally, we will discuss future research directions.
