Mixing Times and Hitting Times for General Markov Processes
Robert M. Anderson, Haosui Duanmu, Aaron Smith
The hitting and mixing times are two fundamental quantities associated with Markov chains. In Peres and Sousi[PS2015] and Oliveira[Oli2012], the authors show that the mixing times…
Simple Conditions for Metastability of Continuous Markov Chains
Oren Mangoubi, Natesh S. Pillai, Aaron Smith
A family of Markov chains is said to exhibit with if its spectral gap (or some other…
Mixing of the Square Plaquette Model on a Critical Length Scale
Paul Chleboun, Aaron Smith
Plaquette models are short range ferromagnetic spin models that play a key role in the dynamic facilitation approach to the liquid glass transition. In this paper we study the dyna…
Fast Mixing of Metropolis-Hastings with Unimodal Targets
James E. Johndrow, Aaron Smith
A well-known folklore result in the MCMC community is that the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm mixes quickly for any unimodal target, as long as the tails are not too heavy. Although…
