This book celebrates the career of Pierre L’Ecuyer on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Pierre has made significant contributions to the fields of simulation, modeling, and operations research over the last 40 years. This book contains 20 chapters written by collaborators and experts in the field who, by sharing their latest results, want to recognize the lasting impact of Pierre’s work in their research area. The breadth of the topics covered reflects the remarkable versatility of Pierre's contributions, from deep theoretical results to practical and industry-ready applications. The Festschrift features article from the domains of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains, sampling and low discrepancy sequences, simulation, rare events, graphics, finance, machine learning, stochastic processes, and tractability.
