Counting and Sampling Fall 2017 Lecture 5 : Coupling & Strong Stationary Time
نویسنده
چکیده
We claim that both of these walks have the same mixing time. This fact is in fact true for any Markov chain on groups. In this case note that we are considering a Markov chain on the symmetric group Sn. In general consider any group G and suppose we have a set of generators {g1, . . . , gk}. In each time step we choose a generator from this set according to a probability distribution μ and we apply it to the current state. The inverse chain is defined as follows: Consider the set of generators {g−1 1 , . . . , g −1 k }. At any state x, choose a generator g−1 i from the same distribution μ and apply it to x. Observe that both of these walks are doubly stochastic, so have a uniform stationary distribution.

Counting and Sampling Fall 2017 Lecture 7 : Advanced Coupling & Mixing Time via Eigenvalues
In this lecture first we discuss [HV05] to prove that the Glauber dynamics generates a random coloring of a graph G with maximum degree ∆ using q ≥ 1.764∆ colors in O(n log n). Our main motivation is to introduce additional more technical tools in coupling, beyond the path coupling technique. We prove the following theorem Theorem 7.1. Let α ≈ 1.763 . . . satisfies α = e. If G is triangle free ...
متن کاملCounting and Sampling Fall 2017 Lecture 4 : Coupling
The idea in the Heat-Bath chain is that each time we “re-randomize” an element of the current configuration with respect to π conditioned on the rest of the configuration. For example, in a spin-system we re-randomize the spin of a particle conditioned on the spin of the rest of the particles. This chain is typically used to generate random samples from spin systems. It is also straightforward ...

Recall that the theorem of Jerrum-Sinclair-Vigoda [JSV04] shows that as long as A ≥ 0 we can use MCMC technique to give a 1+ approximation to per(A). But, if the entries of A can be negative (or even a complex number) we have no other tool besides this theorem to estimate per(A). To prove this theorem, we use an elegant machinery of Barvinok. A weaker version of this theorem first appeared in [...

In this course we will discuss several class of approaches for these problems. Apriori one can think of two general framework: (i) To construct a probability distribution that is almost the same as π(.) and generate sample from that, and (ii) to approximately compute the partition function, Z, and use that recursively to generate samples. We will see the equivalence of counting and sampling in ...

The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
