Abstract

In this project, the student will study all the necessary concepts to establish the cutoff phenomenon for Markov chains with finite state space. He will focus on some cards shuffling, like top-to-random shuffle, riffle shuffle, among others. This will be the opportunity to make a bridge between classical topics seen during the undergraduate course, and some more refined concepts which are nowadays widely used in researches concerning stochastic processes.
