Fast Almost-Uniform Sampling of Random $k$-SAT Solutions

We study approximately uniform sampling of satisfying assignments from random $k$-SAT formulas. For every sufficiently large $k$ and density $0<\alpha \le 2^k/k^{16}$, we prove that, with high probability over the formula, there is a sampler whose output distribution is within total variation distance $\varepsilon$ of...

Spatial Mixing and Deterministic Approximate Counting of Multi-spin Systems beyond Bounded Degree Graphs

We develop a framework for deterministic approximate counting of multi-spin systems beyond bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm recursively constructs rational polytopes containing the true marginal vectors and uses linear-fractional programming to obtain certified bounds on marginal ratios. For positive interactions o...

An FPRAS for Antiferromagnetic Ising Models on Random Regular Bipartite Graphs

We design randomized approximation schemes for the partition function of antiferromagnetic Ising models with uniform external field on random regular bipartite graphs. Our algorithm generalizes the approach of Kocurek, Oveis Gharan and Tjowasi (arXiv, 2026) for hard-core models on the same random graph model beyond the...
