AbstractSimulated tempering is a popular method of allowing Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms to move between modes of a multimodal target density $\pi$ . Tawn, Moores and Roberts (2021) introduces the Annealed Leap-Point Sampler (ALPS) to allow for rapid movement between modes. In this paper we prove that, under appropriate assumptions, a suitably scaled version of the ALPS algorithm converges weakly to skew Brownian motion. Our results show that, under appropriate assumptions, the ALPS algorithm mixes in time $O(d [\log d]^2)$ or O(d), depending on which version is used.
