Abstract
In this paper we investigate multivariate integration in reproducing kernel Sobolev spaces for which the second partial derivatives are square integrable. As quadrature points for our quasi-Monte Carlo algorithm we use digital (t,m,s)-nets over\(\mathbb{Z}_2\) which are randomly digitally shifted and then folded using the tent transformation. For this QMC algorithm we show that the root mean square worst-case error converges with order\(2^{m(-2+\varepsilon)}\) for any ɛ > 0, where 2m is the number of points. A similar result for lattice rules has previously been shown by Hickernell.
