Venue/Location: C2-714

Content:

We have completed the first seven chapters of the book. In this first session after the summer break, I will summarize what we have learned so far.

I will focus on the notions of random walks on graphs and mixing times and some mixing time bounding techniques such as coupling and strong stationary time.
