title = "A Sweep-Plane Algorithm for Generating Random Tuples in Simple Polytopes",
abstract = "A sweep-plane algorithm by Lawrence for convex polytope computation is adapted to generate random tuples on simple polytopes. In our method an affine hyperplane is swept through the given polytope until a random fraction (sampled from a proper univariate distribution) of the volume of the polytope is covered. Then the intersection of the plane with the polytope is a simple polytope with smaller dimension. In the second part we apply this method to construct a black-box algorithm for log-concave and T-concave multivariate distributions by means of transformed density rejection. (author's abstract)",
