Description:: We study the convergence behavior of Markov chains for the Ising and Potts models on graphs with n vertices and maximum degree &Delta.; In the case of Glauber dynamics for the Potts model with q colors, we use path coupling to establish rapid mixing (in order nlogn steps) in the high temperature...
