Rapid Mixing

چکیده
In the past decade many proofs of tractability have involved showing that some Markov chain ”mixes rapidly”. We will do a fast tour of the highlights of Markov chain mixing, with a view toward answering—or at least addressing—the following questions: What is rapid mixing? How do you prove it, and why would you want to? Does it really have anything to do with computational complexity? And, most disturbing: Is there any truth to the rumor that complexity and rapid mixing are related to phase transitions in statistical physics?

Rapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field
The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...
متن کاملGas Mixing Simulation in a T-Shape Micro Channel Using The DSMC Method
Gas mixing in a T-shape micro mixer has been simulated using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. It is considered that the adequate mixing occurs when the mass composition of the species, CO or N2, deviates below 1 % from their equilibrium composition. The mixing coefficient is defined as the ratio of the mixing length to the main channel’s height. As the inlet Kn increases, while ...
متن کاملStability of mixing and rapid mixing for hyperbolic flows
We obtain general results on the stability of mixing and rapid mixing (superpolynomial decay of correlations) for hyperbolic flows. Amongst Cr Axiom A flows, r ≥ 2, we show that there is a C2-open, Cr-dense set of flows for which each nontrivial hyperbolic basic set is rapid mixing. This is the first general result on the stability of rapid mixing (or even mixing) for Axiom A flows that holds i...
متن کاملRapid mixing of Swendsen-Wang dynamics in two dimensions
We prove comparison results for the Swendsen-Wang (SW) dynamics, the heat-bath (HB) dynamics for the Potts model and the single-bond (SB) dynamics for the randomcluster model on arbitrary graphs. In particular, we prove that rapid mixing of HB implies rapid mixing of SW on graphs with bounded maximum degree and that rapid mixing of SW and rapid mixing of SB are equivalent. Additionally, the spe...

We prove comparison results for the Swendsen-Wang (SW) dynamics, the heat-bath (HB) dynamics for the Potts model and the single-bond (SB) dynamics for the randomcluster model on arbitrary graphs. In particular, we prove that rapid (i.e. polynomial) mixing of HB implies rapid mixing of SW on graphs with bounded maximum degree and that rapid mixing of SW and rapid mixing of SB are equivalent.

متن کاملDobrushin Conditions and Systematic Scan
We consider Glauber dynamics on finite spin systems. The mixing time of Glauber dynamics can be bounded in terms of the influences of sites on each other. We consider three parameters bounding these influences — α, the total influence on a site, as studied by Dobrushin; α′, the total influence of a site, as studied by Dobrushin and Shlosman; and α′′, the total influence of a site in any given c...
