Fast mixing for independent sets, colorings and other models on trees
We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...

Rapid mixing of Gibbs sampling on graphs that are sparse on average
Gibbs sampling also known as Glauber dynamics is a popular technique for sampling high dimensional distributions defined on graphs. Of special interest is the behavior of Gibbs sa...
