Abstract
We consider the problem of sampling according to a distribution with log-concave density $F$ over a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. The sampling is done using a biased random walk, and we prove polynomial upper bounds on the time to get a sample point with distribution close to $F$.
