For k = 6

These added support points are

xi = (xi1 , xi2 , xi3 , xi4 , xi5 , xi6), i = 1, …, 12,

where xi1 =sin θi5sinθi4sinθi3sinθi2cosθi1, xi2 =sinθi5sin θi4sinθi3sinθi2sin θi1, xi3 =sinθi5sin θi4sinθi3cosθi2,

xi4 =sinθi5sin θi4cosθi3, xi5 =sinθi5cosθi4 and xi6 =cosθi5.

After 200 iterations, the optimal added points obtained by BA sampler are

 .

 

 The maximum of Peff value is 0.7810.

 

 

For k = 6, the determinants of XX for 200 × 10 × 60 = 120000 steps.
