Abstract

The second largest eigenvalue in absolute value determines the rate of convergence of the Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. In this paper we consider the Gibbs sampler for the 1-D Ising model. We apply the geometric bound by Diaconis and Stroock (1991) to calculate an upper bound of the second largest eigenvalue, which we show is also a bound of the second largest eigenvalue in absolute value. Based on this upper bound, we derive that the convergence time is O(n2), where n is the number of sites. Our result includes a constant of proportionality, which enables us to give a precise bound of the convergence time. The results presented in this paper provide the lowest bound compared to those with a constant of proportionality in the literature.
