In this paper we study an algorithm for estimating the solution of an integral second-kind
equation by values at mesh nodes which are obtained using a local estimate of the Monte Carlo
method. We consider a complete optimization problem in which, in addition to the number of mesh
nodes and the number of trajectories selected in the Monte Carlo method, we select an optimum transition
density specifying a corresponding Markov chain. This density is chosen from a class of piecewise
constant approximations of optimal density in the dependent test method in the space
