Markov Chain Monte Carlo and Non-Reversible Methods

The bulk of Markov chain Monte Carlo applications make use of reversible chains, relying on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm or similar methods. While reversible chains have the advantage of being relatively easy to analyze, it has been shown that non-reversible chains may outperform them in variou...
