The target measure $μ$ is the distribution of a random vector in a box $\cB$, a Cartesian product of bounded intervals. The Gibbs sampler is a Markov chain with invariant measure $μ$. A ``coupling from the past'' construction of the Gibbs sampler is used to show ergodicity of the dynamics and to perfectly simulate $μ$. An algorithm to sample vectors with multinormal distribution truncated to $\cB$ is then implemented.
We study Cantor Staircases in physics that have the Farey-Brocot arrangement for the Q/P rational heights of stability intervals I(Q/P), and such that the length of I(Q/P)is a convex function of 1/P. Circle map staircases and the magnetization function fall in this category. We show that the fractal sets Ommega underlying these staircases are connected with key sets in Number Theory via their (alpha,f(alpha)) multifractal decomposition spectra. It follows that such sets Ommega are self similar when the usual (Euclidean) measure is replaced by the hyperbolic measure induced by the Farey-Brocot partition.
