2 Weighted Partitions Def. An integer partition of n is a decomposition of n into a nonincreasing sequence of positive integers that sums to n. Partitions of 4: (4), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1, 1) Def. A weighted partition of n is a partition of n where each summand of size k belongs to one of b k types. The class C of weighted partitions has the generating function C(z) c n z n n=0 = (1 z k) b k k=1 k=1 ( 1 + z k + z 2k +...) bk. If (b k ) k=1 = (1, 1, 3, 1, 1,... ) the weighted partitions of 4 are: (4), (3, 1), (3, 1), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1, 1). 2 / 13
3 Weighted Partitions Example. Bose Einstein condensation occurs when b k = ( ) k+2 2. C(z) = k=1 (1 zk ) (k+2 2 ) = 1 + 3z + 12z z b 1 = ( 1+2) 2 = 3 b2 = ( 2+2) 2 = 6 b3 = ( 3+2) 2 = 10 (3) (2, 1) (1, 1, 1) Figure: Young diagrams for n = 3. 3 / 13

5 Boltzmann Samplers Def. A Boltzmann distribution over the class C parameterized by 0 < λ < ρ C is the probability distribution, for all γ C, defined as P λ (γ) = λ γ C(λ), where ρ C is the radius of convergence of C(z) = n=0 c nz n. Def. A Boltzmann sampler ΓC(λ) is an algorithm that generates objects from C according to the Boltzmann distribution parameterized by λ. All objects of size n occur with equal probability. 5 / 13
6 Boltzmann Samplers The size of an object generated by ΓC(λ) is a random variable denoted by U with the probability distribution P λ (U = n) = c nλ n C(λ) Figure: Distribution for integer partitions (n = 500, λ = 0.90). 6 / 13

13 Sampling Algorithm for Weighted Partitions Def. Let (b k ) k=1 be a sequence such that b k = p(k) for some polynomial p(x) = a 0 + a 1 x + + a r x r R[x] with deg(p) = r. ) = 1(k + 1)(k + 2) ( k Algorithm 1 Sampling algorithm for weighted partitions. 1: procedure RandomWeightedPartition(n) 2: λ n Solution to n k=1 kb kλ k /(1 λ k ) = n Tuning 3: repeat Rejection sampling 4: γ ΓC n (λ n ) 5: until γ = n 6: return γ Theorem. Algorithm 1 runs in expected O(n r+1 ((r + 2)n) 3/4 ) time and uses O(n) space. 7 / 13
14 Sampling Algorithm for Weighted Partitions Observation. P λ (γ) = λ γ n n k=1 (1 λk ) b = k b k k=1 j=1 λ (# of columns of type b k,j )k (1 λ k ) 1 Algorithm 2 Boltzmann sampler for weighted partitions. 1: procedure ΓC n (λ) 2: γ Empty associative array 3: for k = 1 to n do 4: for j = 1 to b k do 5: m Geometric(1 λ k ) 6: if m 1 then 7: γ[(k, j)] m 8: return γ The PDF of Geometric(1 λ k ) is P 1 λ k (m) = λ mk (1 λ k ). 8 / 13
15 Tuning the Boltzmann Samplers The random variable for the size of an object produced is U n = n b k ky k,j, k=1 j=1 where Y k,j Geometric ( 1 λ k). Lemma. We have E λ [U n ] = n ( kb k k=1 λ k 1 λ k Follows from the linearity of expectation and the mean of geometric random variable Strictly increasing so binary search to solve E λ [U n ] = n ). 9 / 13
16 Bounding the Rejection Rates Lemma. The Dirichlet generating series for weighted partitions is D(s) = k=1 b k k s = r a k ζ(s k), k=0 and has at most r + 1 simple poles on the positive real axis at positions ρ k = k + 1 with residue A k = a k if and only if a k 0. Proof. The Riemann zeta function converges uniformly and is analytic on C \ {1}, so D(s) = k=1 b k k s = k=1 a 0 + a 1 k + + a r k r k s = r a k ζ(s k). k=0 Since ζ(s) = k=1 1/ks has a simple pole at s = 1 with residue 1, the claim about the poles of D(s) follows. 10 / 13

For any positive integer sequence of degree r, Proof. Let A r 2 Γ(ρ r + 2)ζ(ρ r + 1) 1. p(k) = r ( ) k j p(0). j j=0 [Stanley, EC1, Cor 1.9.3] = r p(0) Z = a r = A r 1 r!. Since ρ r = r + 1, A r 2 Γ(ρ r + 2)ζ(ρ r + 1) 1 2r! (r + 2)! / 13
19 Boltzmann Sampler for Bose Einstein Condensation Lemma. If b k = ( ) k+d 1 d 1, for d 1, then C(z) = k=1 (1 z k) ( k+d 1 d 1 ) = k=1 ( 1 exp k [ ( 1 z k) d 1 ]). Theorem. We can uniformly sample objects of size n in C in expected O(n((d + 1)n) 3/4 ) time while using O(n) space. Runtime reduced from O(n 3.75 ) to O(n 1.75 ) Columns are sampled from the zero-truncated negative binomial distribution Geometric random variable is a weighted sum of independent Poisson random variables 12 / 13
