Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hardcore model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets, which we refer to as the LubyαVigoda chain. A new rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets is d
consider a simple and widely used method for evaluating quasi-stationary distributions of continuous time Markov chains. The infinite state space is replaced by a large, but finite approximation, which is used to evaluate a candidate distribution. We give some conditions under which the method works
The test we develop expresses the null hypothesis in terms of proximity of the distribution of a Markov chain (yt) to the subspace ~ of homogeneous Markov chains. The distance we use is the Kullback distance which turns out to be conceptually appropriate. Departure from the point null hypothesis all
