The Swendsen-Wang Process Does Not Always Mix Rapidly
The Swendsen-Wang process provides one possible dynamics for the Qstate Potts model in statistical physics. Computer simulations of this process are widely used to estimate the ex...

Using and Combining Predictors That Specialize
Abstract. We study online learning algorithms that predict by combining the predictions of several subordinate prediction algorithms, sometimes called “experts.” These simple a...

An Interruptible Algorithm for Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...

Lower Bounds for Distributed Coin-Flipping and Randomized Consensus
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation With Constant Error
Shor has showed how to perform fault tolerant quantum computation when the probability for an error in a qubit or a gate, η, decays with the size of the computation polylogarithmi...
