Symmetrically processed splitting integrators for enhanced Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling
arXiv:2011.04401
Abstract
We construct integrators to be used in Hamiltonian (or Hybrid) Monte Carlo sampling. The new integrators are easily implementable and, for a given computational budget, may deliver five times as many accepted proposals as standard leapfrog/Verlet without impairing in any way the quality of the samples. They are based on a suitable modification of the processing technique first introduced by J.C. Butcher. The idea of modified processing may also be useful for other purposes, like the construction of high-order splitting integrators with positive coefficients.
