Randomly Coloring Constant Degree Graphs
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for generating a random k-coloring of a n-vertex graph with maximum degree . We prove that, for every > 0, the d...

Dobrushin Conditions and Systematic Scan
We consider Glauber dynamics on finite spin systems. The mixing time of Glauber dynamics can be bounded in terms of the influences of sites on each other. We consider three parame...

Sampling Edge Covers in 3-Regular Graphs
An edge cover C of an undirected graph is a set of edges such that every vertex has an adjacent edge in C. We show that a Glauber dynamics Markov chain for edge covers mixes rapidl...

A Non-Markovian Coupling for Randomly Sampling Colorings
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for randomly sampling (proper) k-colorings of an input graph G on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ and girth g. We...
