Abstract The main goal of this research project is the development of perfect simulation algorithms for Markov random fields defined on graphs, taking values on a finite alphabet. In order to achieve these goals, we will adapt some techniques from the literature and we will study the theoretical properties of the algorithms proposed. In particular we will focus our attention on the Coupling form the past method, the technique of mixture of variable range distributions and the identification of regenerative times. (AU) | |
