Mixing time for a 3-cycle interacting particle system : a coupling approach

Creator:

Eves, Matthew Jasper

Abstract:

This thesis examines the mixing times for one-dimensional interacting particle systems. We use the coupling method to study the mixing rates for particle systems on the circle which move according to specific permutations e.g., transpositions and 3-cycles.
