A non-P-stable class of degree sequences for which the swap Markov chain is rapidly mixing

One of the simplest methods of generating a random graph with a given degree sequence is provided by the Monte Carlo Markov Chain …

The mixing time of switch Markov chains: a unified approach

We show that the switch Markov chain is rapidly mixing on $P$-stable degree sequences of simple, bipartite, and directed graphs. …

Computing the Difficulty of Critical Bootstrap Percolation Models is NP-hard

Bootstrap percolation is a class of cellular automata with random initial state. Two-dimensional bootstrap percolation models have …

Efficiently sampling the realizations of bounded, irregular degree sequences of bipartite and directed graphs

Since 1997 a considerable effort has been spent on the study of the swap (switch) Markov chains on graphic degree sequences. All of …

Mobile vs. point guards

We study the problem of guarding orthogonal art galleries with horizontal mobile guards (alternatively, vertical) and point guards, …

Recent & Upcoming Talks

Mixing time of the swap Markov chain and P-stability (extended version)

Extended version of the talk of the same title given at EUROCOMB19

Mixing time of the swap Markov chain and P-stability

The aim of this paper is to confirm that $P$-stability of a family of unconstrained/bipartite/directed degree sequences is sufficient …

A non-stable bipartite degree sequence on which the swap Markov chain is rapidly mixing

The swap Markov chain on a bipartite degree sequence $d$ operates on realizations of $d$ by taking two-two vertices from each color …

A linear time 8/3-approximation for $r$-star guards in simple orthogonal art galleries

We study the problem of covering simple orthogonal art galleries with rectangular stars. The problem has been shown to be polynomial by …
