About this paper

Jingcheng Liu, Yitong Yin

The authors give randomized algorithms for approximately counting and nearly uniformly sampling independent sets in every bipartite graph. They estimate coarse lower bounds on residual partition functions, then use them in a weighted walk on a self-reduction tree. At fixed accuracy, both run in exp(O(n^{1/3} log^{4/3} n)) time, without structural assumptions; this is a theoretical guarantee, not evidence of practical performance.
