We study the symmetric random-walk Hastings-Metropolis algorithm in situations where the density is not log-concave in the tails. We show that, under mild technical conditions this algorithm is V-ergodic at a subgeometrical rate.

## Abstract The authors provide an overview of optimal scaling results for the Metropolis algorithm with Gaussian proposal distribution. They address in more depth the case of high‐dimensional target distributions formed of independent, but not identically distributed components. They attempt to gi
