Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Hit-and-Run is known to be one of the best random sampling algorithms, its mixing time is polynomial in dimension. However in practice, the number of steps required to obtain uniformly distributed samples is rather high. We propose a new random walk algorithm based on billiard trajectories. Numerical experiments demonstrate much faster convergence to the uniform distribution. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
