Markov Chain Mixing Times, Applications and Developments

   Lecture 1: Markov Chain Mixing Times, Applications and Developments I
   Lecture 2: Markov Chain Mixing Times, Applications and Developments II
   Lecture 3: Markov Chain Mixing Times, Applications and Developments III
 

This series of talks is part of the Counting Complexity and Phase Transitions Boot Camp. 

Speaker: Ivona Bezakova (Rochester Institute of Technology) & Nayantara Bhatnagar (Univ of Delaware):

We will present the fundamentals of analysis of convergence rates of discrete time Markov chains, applications from statistical physics and combinatorics and a survey of recent results in the area.
