The pivot algorithm is a common method for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations for the uniform measure on n-step self-avoiding walks. The pivot algorithm works by taking a self-avoiding walk and randomly choosing a point on this walk, and then applying symmetrical transformations (rotations and reflections) on the walk after the n th step to ...
A graph with five maximal cliques: four edges and a triangle. In the example graph shown, the algorithm is initially called with R = Ø, P = {1,2,3,4,5,6}, and X = Ø. The pivot u should be chosen as one of the degree-three vertices, to minimize the number of recursive calls; for instance, suppose that u is chosen to be
