Approximate counting of vertices of 0/1 polytopes: a stronger hardness result

Heng Guo, Mark Jerrum

We show that approximately counting the vertices of a bounded 0/1 polytope, presented as a system of rational linear inequalities, is, informally speaking, NP-hard. In particular,…

On the self-intersection time of non-backtracking random walks

Ferenc Bencs, Leslie Ann Goldberg, Matthew Jenssen +4

We study the self-intersection time of the non-backtracking random walk on connected undirected graphs. For every fixed we show that the expected self-intersection time i…

The antiferromagnetic Ising model beyond line graphs

Mark Jerrum

Both the antiferromagnetic Ising model and the hard-core model could be said to be tractable on line graphs of bounded degree. For example, Glauber dynamics is rapidly mixing in bo…

Zero-free regions for the independence polynomial on restricted graph classes

Mark Jerrum, Viresh Patel

Generalising the Heilman-Lieb Theorem from statistical physics, Chudnovsky and Seymour [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 97(3):350--357] showed that the univariate independence polynomial…

Rapid mixing of the flip chain over non-crossing spanning trees

Konrad Anand, Weiming Feng, Graham Freifeld +3

We show that the flip chain for non-crossing spanning trees of points in convex position mixes in time . We use connections between Fuss-Catalan structures to c…

Glauber dynamics for the hard-core model on bounded-degree -free graphs

Mark Jerrum

The hard-core model has as its configurations the independent sets of some graph instance . The probability distribution on independent sets is controlled by a `fugacity' ,…
