Rates of Convergence for the Gibbs Sampler

ABSTRACT
This work concerns the rate of convergence for the Gibbs sampler (Glauber type dynamics) on configuration space $S^{\Lambda}$, where the index set $\Lambda$ is a finite subset of $Z^d$ with cardinality $n$, and the single-spin space $S$ is a finite set with cardinality $s$. Under the Dobrushin-Shlosman condition, an explicit expression of the asymptotic order of convergence is provided in terms of $n$ and $s$ as both $n$ and $s$ tend to infinity.
