Sampling from convex sets with a cold start using multiscale decompositions

A standard approach for sampling approximately uniformly from a convex body K ⊆ R n is to run a random walk within K. The requirement is that starting from a suitable initial distribution, the random walk should “mix rapidly”, i.e., after a number of steps that is polynomial in n and the aspect rati...
