RANDOM
Near-Linear Time Samplers for Matroid Independent Sets with Applications

Authors: Xiaoyu Chen, Heng Guo, Xinyuan Zhang, and Zongrui Zou

Abstract
We give a Õ(n) time almost uniform sampler for independent sets of a matroid, whose ground set has n elements and is given by an independence oracle. As a consequence, one can sample connected spanning subgraphs of a given graph G = (V,E) in Õ(|E|) time, whereas the previous best algorithm takes O(|E||V|) time. This improvement, in turn, leads to a faster running time on estimating all-terminal network reliability. Furthermore, we generalise this near-linear time sampler to the random cluster model with q ≤ 1.

Polynomial-Time Approximation of Zero-Free Partition Functions

Authors: Penghui Yao, Yitong Yin, and Xinyuan Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 229, 49th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2022)


Abstract
Zero-free based algorithms are a major technique for deterministic approximate counting. In Barvinok’s original framework [Barvinok, 2017], by calculating truncated Taylor expansions, a quasi-polynomial time algorithm was given for estimating zero-free partition functions. Patel and Regts [Patel and Regts, 2017] later gave a refinement of Barvinok’s framework, which gave a polynomial-time algorithm for a class of zero-free graph polynomials that can be expressed as counting induced subgraphs in bounded-degree graphs. In this paper, we give a polynomial-time algorithm for estimating classical and quantum partition functions specified by local Hamiltonians with bounded maximum degree, assuming a zero-free property for the temperature. Consequently, when the inverse temperature is close enough to zero by a constant gap, we have a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for all such partition functions. Our result is based on a new abstract framework that extends and generalizes the approach of Patel and Regts.
