Group-averaged Markov chains: mixing improvement
Michael C. H. Choi, Youjia Wang
For Markov kernels on a general state space , we introduce a new class of averaged Markov kernels of induced by a group that acts on $\mathca…

Improving the convergence of Markov chains via permutations and projections
Michael C. H. Choi, Max Hird, Youjia Wang
This paper aims at improving the convergence to equilibrium of finite ergodic Markov chains via permutations and projections. First, we prove that a specific mixture of permuted Ma…
