Rapid Mixing of Several Markov Chains for a Hard-Core Model
The mixing properties of several Markov chains to sample from configurations of a hard-core model have been examined. The model is familiar in the statistical physics of the liqui...

A Local Switch Markov Chain on Given Degree Graphs with Application in Connectivity of Peer-to-Peer Networks
We study a switch Markov chain on regular graphs, where switches are allowed only between links that are at distance 3; we call this the Flip. The motivation for studying the Flip...

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...

Using fast weights to improve persistent contrastive divergence
The most commonly used learning algorithm for restricted Boltzmann machines is contrastive divergence which starts a Markov chain at a data point and runs the chain for only a few...

Using Combined Markov Chains to Predict WWW Navigation Paths
The Internet network provides access to several hundreds of million sites and expands at a rate of a million pages a day. Yet, given the rapid and anarchical nature of its evoluti...
