+Let thus be given such kind of map.
+This article focusses 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 
+$n$-cube augemented with all the self-loop, \textit{i.e.}, all the 
+edges $(v,v)$ for any $v \in \Bool^n$. 
+Next, if we add probabilities on the transition graph, iterations can be 
+interpreted as Markov chains.
 
-It is usual to check whether rows of such kind of matrices
-converge to a specific 
-distribution. 
-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 
-$\Omega$  by:
-$$\tv{\pi-\mu}=\max_{A\subset \Omega} |\pi(A)-\mu(A)|.$$

+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
+
+$$t_{\rm mix}(\varepsilon)\leq \lceil\log_2(\varepsilon^{-1})\rceil t_{\rm mix}(\frac{1}{4})$$
+
+It is known that $d(t+1)\leq d(t)$.
+
+
+
+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 $\pi$:
+$$\P_x(X_\tau=y)=\pi(y).$$

-Let then $M(x,\cdot)$ be the
-distribution induced by the $x$-th row of $M$. If the Markov chain

-$M$ has a stationary distribution $\pi$, then we define

 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.
