Exact bound for the convergence of metropolis chains

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this note, we present a calculation which gives us the exact bound for the convergence of Metropolis chains in a finite state space and therefore improves the existing results which are only for the upper bounds of such convergence (see the references below). Our result is based on an interesting observation on the transition probability of Metropolis chains
