A New Approach to Polynomial-time Generation of Random Points in Convex Bodies
Russ Bubley, Martin Dyer and Mark JerrumAbstract: In this paper we describe a new method for proving the polynomial-time convergence of an algorithm for sampling (almost) uniformly at random from a convex body in high dimension. Previous approaches have been based on estimating conductance via isoperimetric inequalities. We show that a conceptually simpler coupling argument can be used to give a similar result.
