In the case of Markov chains\, this convergence time is called the mixing time: the ti me needed to be randomly mixed according to the limit probability. I will present the mixing time by answering the worldwide question 'how many time s should I shuffle my deck of cards?' No magic trick knowledge is required for this talk.\n DTSTART:20180223T170000Z DTEND:20180223T170000Z LOCATION:Graduate Lounge\, BURN 1024/1025\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montr eal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar - Benoit Corsini URL:/mathstat/channels/event/graduate-student-seminar- benoit-corsini-285176 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
