Kalikow-type decomposition for multicolor infinite range particle systems

We consider a particle system on Zd with real state space and interactions of infinite range. Assuming that the rate of change is continuous we obtain a Kalikow-type decomposition of the infinite range change rates as a mixture of finite range change rates. Furthermore, if a high noise condition holds, as an application of this decomposition, we design a feasible perfect simulation algorithm to sample from the stationary process. Finally, the perfect simulation scheme allows us to forge an algorithm to obtain an explicit construction of a coupling attaining Ornstein's d-distance for two ordered Ising probability measures.
