Polynomial Time Approximate Sampler for Discretized Dirichlet Distribution
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a Markov chain for sampling a random vector distributed according to a discretized Dirichlet distribution. We show that our Markov chain is rapi...

A Polynomial-Time Perfect Sampler for the Q-Ising with a Vertex-Independent Noise
We present a polynomial-time perfect sampler for the Q-Ising with a vertex-independent noise. The Q-Ising, one of the generalized models of the Ising, arose in the context of Baye...

Combining multiple heuristics on discrete resources
—In this work we study the portfolio problem which is to find a good combination of multiple heuristics to solve given instances on parallel resources in minimum time. The resou...

Approximating the distribution of fitness over hamming regions
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
