Establish theoretical analysis for MLQMC combined with preintegration

Establish a rigorous theoretical analysis for multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo (MLQMC) combined with preintegration in nested risk estimation, including convergence rates, error bounds for level differences, and overall computational complexity for estimating probabilities of the form θ = E[ I{ E[X|ω] > c } ].

Background

The authors extend their MLMC-with-preintegration method by employing quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) within the inner simulations and report improved empirical strong convergence—often exceeding that of standard MLMC—especially in high dimensions.

Despite these empirical findings, they explicitly note that a formal theoretical framework for MLQMC combined with preintegration has not yet been developed, identifying this as an important direction for further research.

Furthermore, the theoretical analysis combining MLQMC and preintegration has not yet been established, which can also serve as an important direction for future research.
