The Arborescence-Sampling Barrier for Eulerian Tours

resolvedconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Sampling a nearly uniform Eulerian tour of a directed Eulerian multigraph was stuck at $mn$-type running times coming from arborescence sampling. A randomized algorithm achieves $\widetilde{O}(m^{3/2})$ worst case, breaking that barrier on sparse graphs.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
