Abstract
We provide a generic way of deducing non-asymptotic error bounds for Sequential MCMC methods from suitable stability properties of Feynman-Kac propagators. We show how to derive this type of stability from mixing conditions for the MCMC dynamics, namely, spectral gaps and hyperboundedness, and from upper bounds on the relative densities in the sequence of distributions.
