Generating a Random Sink-free Orientation in Quadratic Time

Generating a Random Sink-free Orientation in Quadratic Time

A sink-free orientation of a finite undirected graph is a choice of orientation for each edge such that every vertex has out-degree at least 1. Bubley and Dyer (1997) use Markov Chain Monte Carlo to sample approximately from the uniform distribution on sink-free orientations in time $O(m^3 \log (1 / …
