We calculated the SU(2) gluon propagator in Landau gauge on an anisotropic
coarse lattice with the improved action. The standard and improved schemes
are used to fix the gauge in this work. Even on the coarse lattice the latt
ice gluon propagator can be well described by a function of the continuous
momentum. The effect of the improved gauge fixing scheme is found not to be
apparent. Based on the Marenzoni's model, the mass scale and the anomalous
dimension are extracted and can be reasonably extrapolated to the continuu
m limit with the values alpha similar to 0.3 and M similar to 600 MeV. We a
lso extract the physical anisotropy xi from the gluon propagator due to the
explicit xi dependence of the gluon propagator.
