context of approximation of Feynman-Kac solutions using sequential Monte Carlo simulations, there is
one particular sampling selection method introduced by Baker (1987), closely related with “systematic
sampling” in statistics, that has been exclusively treated on an empirical basis. The main motivation
of the paper is to start to study formally its convergence properties, since in practice it is by far
the fastest selection method available. One will show that convergence
