Abstract
Let and be positive integers with Let denote the set of all degree sequences of length with the even sum and satisfying We show that if all degree sequences in are graphic, then is -stable. (The concept of -stability was introduced by Jerrum and Sinclair in 1990.) In particular, this implies that the switch Markov-chain mixes rapidly on all such degree sequences. In this paper we also study the inverse direction. We show the following: if all graphic sequences of a degree sequence region satisfy the -stability condition then the overwhelming majority of the sequences in the region is graphic. This answers affirmatively a question raised in the paper \DOI{10.1016/j.aam.2024.102805}.
