Popis: | In Markov chain Monte Carlo theory a particular Markov chain is run for a very long time until its distribution is close enough to the equilibrium measure. In recent years, for models of statistical mechanics and of theoretical computer science, there has been a flourishing of new mathematical ideas and techniques to rigorously control the time it takes for the chain to equilibrate. This has provided a fruitful interaction between the two fields and the purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the state of the art. |
