Random sampling of lattice paths with constraints, via transportation
We investigate Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) procedures for the random sampling of some one-dimensional lattice paths with constraints, for various constraints. We will see that...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

Stochastic Iteration for Non-diffuse Global Illumination
This paper presents a single-pass, view-dependent method to solve the rendering equation, using a stochastic iterational scheme where the transport operator is selected randomly i...

The Computational Complexity of Link Building
We study the problem of adding k new links to a directed graph G(V, E) in order to maximize the minimum PageRank value for a given subset of the nodes. We show that this problem is...

Adiabatic quantum state generation and statistical zero knowledge
The design of new quantum algorithms has proven to be an extremely difficult task. This paper considers a different approach to the problem, by studying the problem of 'quant...
