Randomly Coloring Graphs of Logarithmically Bounded Pathwidth

Abstract

We consider the problem of sampling a proper k-coloring of a graph of maximal degree Delta uniformly at random. We describe a new Markov chain for sampling colorings, and show that it mixes rapidly on graphs of logarithmically bounded pathwidth if k >=(1+epsilon)Delta, for any epsilon>0, using a hybrid paths argument.
