On Markov Chains for Independent Sets
Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hard-core model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for...

The Randomness Recycler: A New Technique for Perfect Sampling
For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...

CSL Model Checking Algorithms for Infinite-State Structured Markov Chains
Jackson queueing networks (JQNs) are a very general class of queueing networks that find their application in a variety of settings. The state space of the continuous-time Markov c...

Path Coupling Using Stopping Times
Abstract. We analyse the mixing time of Markov chains using path coupling with stopping times. We apply this approach to two hypergraph problems. We show that the Glauber dynamics ...

Near optimal lossy source coding and compression-based denoising via Markov chain Monte Carlo
— We propose an implementable new universal lossy source coding algorithm. The new algorithm utilizes two wellknown tools from statistical physics and computer science: Gibbs sam...
