For this sequence of trees we compute the mixing time, the relaxation time and the cutoff window.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-10T19:31:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J10" ], "keywords": [ "total variation cutoff", "lazy simple random walk", "cutoff window", "main idea", "large sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.2887P" } } }
