摘要
We study the Glauber dynamics Markov chain for k-colorings of trees with maximum degree Delta. For k >= 3, we show that the mixing time on the complete tree is n(theta(1+Delta/(k log Delta))). For k >= 4 we extend our analysis to show that the mixing time on any tree is at most n(O(1+Delta/(k log Delta))). Our proof uses a weighted canonical paths analysis and introduces a variation of the block dynamics that exploits the differing relaxation times of blocks.
