Fast Algorithms for Logconcave Functions: Sampling, Rounding, Integration and Optimization
We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...

Sample Sort on Meshes
In this paper various algorithms for sorting on processor networks are considered. We focus on meshes, but the results can be generalized easily to other decomposable architecture...
