+Let thus be given such kind of map.
+This article focuses on studying its iterations according to
+the equation~(\ref{eq:asyn}) with a given strategy.
+First of all, this can be interpreted as walking into its iteration graph
+where the choice of the edge to follow is decided by the strategy.
+Notice that the iteration graph is always a subgraph of
+${\mathsf{N}}$-cube augmented with all the self-loop, \textit{i.e.}, all the
+edges $(v,v)$ for any $v \in \Bool^{\mathsf{N}}$.
+Next, if we add probabilities on the transition graph, iterations can be
+interpreted as Markov chains.
+
+\begin{xpl}
+Let us consider for instance
+the graph $\Gamma(f)$ defined
+in \textsc{Figure~\ref{fig:iteration:f*}.} and
+the probability function $p$ defined on the set of edges as follows:
+$$
+p(e) \left\{
+\begin{array}{ll}
+= \frac{2}{3} \textrm{ if $e=(v,v)$ with $v \in \Bool^3$,}\\
+= \frac{1}{6} \textrm{ otherwise.}
+\end{array}
+\right.
+$$
+The matrix $P$ of the Markov chain associated to the function $f^*$ and to its probability function $p$ is
+\[
+P=\dfrac{1}{6} \left(
+\begin{array}{llllllll}
+4&1&1&0&0&0&0&0 \\
+1&4&0&0&0&1&0&0 \\
+0&0&4&1&0&0&1&0 \\
+0&1&1&4&0&0&0&0 \\
+1&0&0&0&4&0&1&0 \\
+0&0&0&0&1&4&0&1 \\
+0&0&0&0&1&0&4&1 \\
+0&0&0&1&0&1&0&4
+\end{array}
+\right)
+\]

+% % Let us first recall the \emph{Total Variation} distance $\tv{\pi-\mu}$,
+% % which is defined for two distributions $\pi$ and $\mu$ on the same set
+% % $\Bool^n$ by:
+% % $$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\max_{A\subset \Bool^n} |\pi(A)-\mu(A)|.$$
+% % It is known that
+% % $$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{x\in\Bool^n}|\pi(x)-\mu(x)|.$$
+
+% % Let then $M(x,\cdot)$ be the
+% % distribution induced by the $x$-th row of $M$. If the Markov chain
+% % induced by
+% % $M$ has a stationary distribution $\pi$, then we define
+% % $$d(t)=\max_{x\in\Bool^n}\tv{M^t(x,\cdot)-\pi}.$$
+% Intuitively $d(t)$ is the largest deviation between
+% the distribution $\pi$ and $M^t(x,\cdot)$, which
+% is the result of iterating $t$ times the function.
+% Finally, let $\varepsilon$ be a positive number, the \emph{mixing time}
+% with respect to $\varepsilon$ is given by
+% $$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)=\min\{t \mid d(t)\leq \varepsilon\}.$$
+% It defines the smallest iteration number
+% that is sufficient to obtain a deviation lesser than $\varepsilon$.
+% Notice that the upper and lower bounds of mixing times cannot
+% directly be computed with eigenvalues formulae as expressed
+% in~\cite[Chap. 12]{LevinPeresWilmer2006}. The authors of this latter work
+% only consider reversible Markov matrices whereas we do no restrict our
+% matrices to such a form.

+This section considers functions $f: \Bool^n \rightarrow \Bool^n $
+issued from an hypercube where an Hamiltonian path has been removed.
+A specific random walk in this modified hypercube is first
+introduced. We further detail
+a theoretical study on the length of the path
+which is sufficient to follow to get a uniform distribution.
+
+
+
+
+
+First of all, let $\pi$, $\mu$ be two distributions on $\Bool^n$. The total
+variation distance between $\pi$ and $\mu$ is denoted $\tv{\pi-\mu}$ and is
+defined by
+$$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\max_{A\subset \Bool^n} |\pi(A)-\mu(A)|.$$ It is known that
+$$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{X\in\Bool^n}|\pi(X)-\mu(X)|.$$ Moreover, if
+$\nu$ is a distribution on $\Bool^n$, one has
+$$\tv{\pi-\mu}\leq \tv{\pi-\nu}+\tv{\nu-\mu}$$
+
+Let $P$ be the matrix of a Markov chain on $\Bool^n$. $P(X,\cdot)$ 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
+$$d(t)=\max_{X\in\Bool^n}\tv{P^t(X,\cdot)-\pi}.$$
+
+and
+
+$$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)=\min\{t \mid d(t)\leq \varepsilon\}.$$
+One can prove that
+
+$$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)\leq \lceil\log_2(\varepsilon^{-1})\rceil t_{\rm mix}(\frac{1}{4})$$
