Abstract

The Diaconis-Gangolli random walk is an algorithm that generates an almost uniform random graph with prescribed degrees. In this paper, we study the mixing time of the Diaconis-Gangolli random walk restricted on n × n contingency tables over Z/qZ. We prove that the random walk exhibits cutoff at (Equation presented) log n, when log (Equation presented).
