\section{Mathematical Backgroung}



Let $\pi$, $\mu$ be two distribution on a same set $\Omega$. The total
variation distance between $\pi$ and $\mu$ is denoted $\tv{\pi-\mu}$ and is
defined by
$$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\max_{A\subset \Omega} |\pi(A)-\mu(A)|.$$ It is known that
$$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{x\in\Omega}|\pi(x)-\mu(x)|.$$ Moreover, if
$\nu$ is a distribution on $\Omega$, one has
$$\tv{\pi-\mu}\leq \tv{\pi-\nu}+\tv{\nu-\mu}$$

Let $P$ be the matrix of a markov chain on $\Omega$. $P(x,\cdot)$ is the
distribution induced by the $x$-th row of $P$. If the markov chain induced by
$P$ has a stationary distribution $\pi$, then we define
$$d(t)=\max_{x\in\Omega}\tv{P^t(x,\cdot)-\pi},$$
and

$$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)=\min\{t \mid d(t)\leq \varepsilon\}.$$
One can prove that

$$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)\leq \lceil\log_2(\varepsilon^{-1})\rceil t_{\rm mix}(\frac{1}{4})$$



%% A {\it coupling} with transition matrix $P$ is a process $(X_t,Y_t)_{t\geq 0}$
%% such that both $(X_t)$ and $(Y_t)$ are markov chains of matric $P$; moreover
%% it is required that if $X_s=Y_s$, then for any $t\geq s$, $X_t=Y_t$.
%% A results provides that if   $(X_t,Y_t)_{t\geq 0}$ is a coupling, then
%% $$d(t)\leq \max_{x,y} P_{x,y}(\{\tau_{\rm couple} \geq t\}),$$
%% with $\tau_{\rm couple}=\min_t\{X_t=Y_t\}$.


Let $(X_t)_{t\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of $\Omega$ valued random
variables. A $\mathbb{N}$-valued random variable $\tau$ is a {\it stopping
  time} for the sequence $(X_i)$ if for each $t$ there exists $B_t\subseteq
\omega^{t+1}$ such that $\{tau=t\}=\{(X_0,X_1,\ldots,X_t)\in B_t\}$. 

Let $(X_t)_{t\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a markov chain and $f(X_{t-1},Z_t)$ a
random mapping representation of the markov chain. A {\it randomized
  stopping time} for the markov chain is a stopping time for
$(Z_t)_{t\in\mathbb{N}}$. It he markov chain is irreductible and has $\pi$
as stationary distribution, then a {\it stationay time} $\tau$ is a
randomized stopping time (possibily depending on the starting position $x$),
such that  the distribution of $X_\tau$ is $\pi$:
$$\P_x(X_\tau=y)=\pi(y).$$

\begin{proposition}
If $\tau$ is a strong stationary time, then $d(t)\leq \max_{x\in\Omega}
\P_x(\tau > t)$.
\end{proposition}

\section{Random walk on the modified Hypercube}


Let $\Omega=\{0,1\}^N$ be the set of words of length $N$. Let $E=\{(x,y)\mid
x\in \Omega, y\in \Omega,\ x=y \text{ or } x\oplus y \in 0^*10^*\}$. Let $h$
be a function from $\Omega$ into $\{1,\ldots,N\}$.

We denote by $E_h$ the set $E\setminus\{(x,y)\mid x\oplus y =
0^{N-h(x)}10^{h(x)-1}\}$. We define the matrix $P_h$ has follows:
$$\left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
P_h(x,y)=0 & \text{ if } (x,y)\notin E_h\\
P_h(x,x)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2N} & \\
P_h(x,x)=\frac{1}{2N} & \text{otherwise}\\

\end{array}
\right.
$$ 

We denote by $\ov{h}$ the function from $\Omega$ into $\omega$ defined
by $x\oplus\ov{h}(x)=0^{N-h(x)}10^{h(x)-1}.$ 
The function $\ov{h}$ is said {\it square-free} if for every $x\in E$,
$\ov{h}(\ov{h}(x))\neq x$. 

\begin{lemma}\label{lm:h}
If $\ov{h}$ is bijective and square-free, then $h(\ov{h}^{-1}(x))\neq h(x)$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}

\end{proof}

Let $Z$ be a random variable over
$\{1,\ldots,N\}\times\{0,1\}$ uniformaly distributed. For $X\in \Omega$, we
define, with $Z=(i,x)$,  
$$
\left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
f(X,Z)=X\oplus (0^{N-i}10^{i-1}) & \text{if } x=1 \text{ and } i\neq h(X),\\
f(X,Z)=X& \text{otherwise.} 
\end{array}\right.
$$

\section{Stopping time}

An integer $\ell\in\{1,\ldots,N\}$ is said {\it fair} at time $t$ if there
exists $0\leq j <t$ such that $Z_j=(\ell,\cdot)$ and $h(X_j)\neq \ell$.

 
Let $\ts$ be the first time all the elements of $\{1,\ldots,N\}$
are fair. The integer $\ts$ is a randomized stopping time for
the markov chain $(X_t)$.


\begin{lemma}
The integer $\ts$ is a strong stationnary time.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $\tau_\ell$ be the first time that $\ell$ is fair. The random variable
$Z_{\tau_\ell-1}$ is of the form $(\ell,\delta)$ with $\delta\in\{0,1\}$ and
$\delta=1$ with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\delta=0$ with probability
$\frac{1}{2}$. Since $h(X_{\tau_\ell-1})\neq\ell$ the value of the $\ell$-th
bit of $X_{\tau_\ell}$ is $\delta$. Moving next in the chain, at each step,
the $l$-th bit  is switch from $0$ to $1$ or from $1$ to $0$ each time with
the same probability. Therefore,  for $t\geq \tau_\ell$, the
$\ell$-th bit of $X_t$ is $0$ or $1$ with the same probability, proving the
lemma.
\end{proof}

\begin{proposition} \label{prop:stop}
If $\ov{h}$ is bijective and square-free, then
$E[\ts]\leq 8N^2+ N\ln (N+1)$. 
\end{proposition}

For each $x\in \Omega$ and $\ell\in\{1,\ldots,N\}$, let $S_{x,\ell}$ be the
random variable counting the number of steps done until reaching from $x$ a state where
$\ell$ is fair. More formaly
$$S_{x,\ell}=\min \{m \geq 1\mid h(X_m)\neq \ell\text{ and }Z_m=\ell\text{ and } X_0=x\}.$$

 We denote by
$$\lambda_h=\max_{x,\ell} S_{x,\ell}.$$


\begin{lemma}\label{prop:lambda}
If $\ov{h}$ is a square-free bijective function, then one has $E[\lambda_h]\leq 8N^2.$
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
For every $X$, every $\ell$, one has $\P(S_{X,\ell}\leq 2)\geq
\frac{1}{4N^2}$. Let $X_0=X$. Indeed, if $h(X)\neq \ell$, then
$\P(S_{X,\ell}=1)=\frac{1}{2N}\geq \frac{1}{4N^2}$. If $h(X)=\ell$, then
$\P(S_{X,\ell}=1)=0$. But in this case, intutively, it is possible to move
from $X$ to $\ov{h}^{-1}(X)$ (with probability $\frac{1}{2N}$). And in
$\ov{h}^{-1}(X)$ the $l$-th bit is switchable. More fromaly,
since $\ov{h}$ is square-free,
$\ov{h}(x)=\ov{h}(\ov{h}(\ov{h}^{-1}(X)))\neq \ov{h}^{-1}(X)$. It follows
that $(X,\ov{h}^{-1}(X))\in E_h$. We thus have
$P(X_1=\ov{h}^{-1}(X))=\frac{1}{2N}$. Now, by Lemma~\ref{lm:h},
$h(\ov{h}^{-1}(X))\neq h(X)$. Therefore $\P(S_{x,\ell}=2\mid
X_1=\ov{h}^{-1}(X))=\frac{1}{2N}$, proving that $\P(S_{x,\ell}\leq 2)\geq
\frac{1}{4N^2}$.

Therefore, $\P(S_{x,\ell}\geq 3)\leq 1-\frac{1}{4N^2}$. By induction, one
has, for every $i$, $\P(S_{x,\ell}\geq 2i+1)\leq
\left(1-\frac{1}{4N^2}\right)^i$.
 Moreover,
since $S_{X,\ell}$ is positive, it is known~\cite[lemma 2.9]{proba}, that
$$E[S_{X,\ell}]=\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i).$$
Since $\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i)\geq \P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i+1)$, one has
$$E[S_{X,\ell}]=\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq i)\leq
\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 1)+\P(S_{X,\ell}\geq 2)+2 \sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\P(S_{x,\ell}\geq 2i).$$
Consequently,
$$E[S_{x,\ell}]\leq 1+1+2
\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\left(1-\frac{1}{4N^2}\right)^i=2+2(4N^2-1)=8N^2,$$
which concludes the proof.
\end{proof}

Let $\ts^\prime$ be the first time that there are exactly $N-1$ fair
elements. 

\begin{lemma}\label{lm:stopprime}
One has $E[\ts^\prime]\leq N \ln (N+1).$
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
This is a classical  Coupon Collector's like problem. Let $W_i$ be the
random variable counting the number of moves done in the markov chain while
we had exactly $i-1$ fair bits. One has $\ts^\prime=\sum_{i=1}^{N-1}W_i$.
 But when we are at position $x$ with $i-1$ fair bits, the probability of
 obtaining a new fair bit is either $1-\frac{i-1}{N}$ if $h(x)$ is fair,
 or  $1-\frac{i-2}{N}$ if $h(x)$ is not fair. It follows that 
$E[W_i]\leq \frac{N}{N-i+2}$. Therefore
$$E[\ts^\prime]=\sum_{i=1}^{N-1}E[W_i]\leq N\sum_{i=1}^{N-1}
 \frac{1}{N-i+2}=N\sum_{i=3}^{N+1}\frac{1}{i}.$$

But $\sum_{i=1}^{N+1}\frac{1}{i}\leq 1+\ln(N+1)$. It follows that
$1+\frac{1}{2}+\sum_{i=3}^{N+1}\frac{1}{i}\leq 1+\ln(N+1).$
Consequently,
$E[\ts^\prime]\leq N (-\frac{1}{2}+\ln(N+1))\leq N\ln(N+1)$.
\end{proof}

One can now prove Proposition~\ref{prop:stop}.

\begin{proof}
One has $\ts\leq \ts^\prime+\lambda_h$. Therefore,
Proposition~\ref{prop:stop} is a direct application of
lemma~\ref{prop:lambda} and~\ref{lm:stopprime}.
\end{proof}
