Damage spreading and coupling in Markov chains
Etienne P. Bernard, Cédric Chanal, Werner Krauth
In this paper, we relate the coupling of Markov chains, at the basis of perfect sampling methods, with damage spreading, which captures the chaotic nature of stochastic dynamics. F…

Convergence and coupling for spin glasses and hard spheres
Cedric Chanal, Werner Krauth
We discuss convergence and coupling of Markov chains, and present general relations between the transfer matrices describing these two processes. We then analyze a recently develop…

Renormalization group approach to exact sampling
Cedric Chanal, Werner Krauth
In this Letter, we use a general renormalization-group algorithm to implement Propp and Wilson's "coupling from the past" approach to complex physical systems. Our algorithm follow…
