Harmonic analysis on finite groups : representation theory, Gelfand pairs and Markov chains /
Line up a deck of 52 cards on a table. Randomly choose two cards and switch them. How many switches are needed in order to mix up the deck? Starting from a few concrete problems such as random walks on the discrete circle and the finite ultrametric space this book develops the necessary tools for th...
