Refined estimates for some basic random walks on the symmetric and alternating groups
L. Saloff-Coste, J. Zuniga
We give refined estimates for the discrete time and continuous time versions of some basic random walks on the symmetric and alternating groups and . We consider the fol…
Rejoinder: Gibbs Sampling, Exponential Families and Orthogonal Polynomials
Persi Diaconis, Kshitij Khare, Laurent Saloff-Coste
We are thankful to the discussants for their hard, interesting work. The main purpose of our paper was to give reasonably sharp rates of convergence for some simple examples of the…
Gibbs Sampling, Exponential Families and Orthogonal Polynomials
Persi Diaconis, Kshitij Khare, Laurent Saloff-Coste
We give families of examples where sharp rates of convergence to stationarity of the widely used Gibbs sampler are available. The examples involve standard exponential families and…
Cross Curvature Flow on Locally Homogeneous Three-manifolds (II)
Xiaodong Cao, Laurent Saloff-Coste
In this paper, we study the positive cross curvature flow on locally homogeneous 3-manifolds. We describe the long time behavior of these flows. We combine this with earlier result…
Cross Curvature Flow on Locally Homogenous Three-manifolds (I)
Xiaodong Cao, Yilong Ni, Laurent Saloff-Coste
Chow and Hamilton introduced the cross curvature flow on closed 3-manifolds with negative or positive sectional curvature. In this paper, we study the negative cross curvature flow…
Separation cut-offs for birth and death chains
Persi Diaconis, Laurent Saloff-Coste
This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of birth and death chains to converge abruptly to stationarity, that is, to present a cut-off. The condition in…
