Abstract

We sharpen run-time analysis for algorithms under the partial rejection sampling framework. Our method yields improved bounds for- the cluster-popping algorithm for approximating all-terminal network reliability;- the cycle-popping algorithm for sampling rooted spanning trees;- the sink-popping algorithm for sampling sink-free orientations.In all three applications, our bounds are not only tight in order, but also optimal in constants.
