β¦ Synopsis
We present a new method for the approximation of Wiener integrals and provide an explicit error bound for a class F of smooth integrands. The purely deterministic algorithm is a sequence of quadrature formulas for the Wiener measure, where the knots are piecewise linear functions. It uses ideas of Smolyak, as well as the multiscale decomposition of the Wiener measure due to Le vy and Ciesielski. For the class F we obtain n(=) max(1, 2= &4 ), where n(=) is the number of integrand evaluations needed to guarantee an error at most = for f # F.

As we know, the Chebyshev weight w(x)=(1&x 2 ) &1Γ2 has the property: For each fixed n, the solutions of the extremal problem dx for every even m are the same. This paper proves that the Chebyshev weight is the only weight having this property (up to a linear transformation).

Certain natural geometric approximation schemes are developed for Wiener measure on a compact Riemannian manifold. These approximations closely mimic the informal path integral formulas used in the physics literature for representing the heat semi-group on Riemannian manifolds. The path space is app
