On geometric convergence for the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm under simple conditions
简单条件下 Metropolis 调整 Langevin 算法的几何收敛
Summary While the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm is a popular and widely used Markov chain Monte Carlo method, very few papers derive conditions that ensure its convergence. In particular, to the authors’ knowledge, assumptions that are both easy to verify and guarantee geometric convergence, are still missing. In this work, we establish V-uniformly geometric convergence for the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm under mild assumptions about the target…
