Markov chains (discrete-time Markov processes on discrete state spaces) (60J10)

Abstract: We show that the order of the $L_{infty}$-mixing time of simple random walks on a sequence of uniformly bounded degree graphs of size $n$ may increase by an optimal factor of $Theta(loglogn)$ as a result of a bounded perturbation of the edge weights. This answers a question and a conjecture of Kozma.
