However, due to the geometric mismatch between the spherical inner surface and cubic outer surface of these regions, such a mapping is not represented by a simple formula such as Eq., and would need to be constructed numerically.

33. Of course, even after dividing the problem into stages, one can apply escorting by separately treating each stage as a switching simulation with one step, N 1, and using the mappings given by Eq.. We found that this further reduces the error bars by nearly a factor of six.
