چکیده

When f ≡ 1, the f -norm is the total variation norm, which is denoted ‖μ‖TV. Assume that P is aperiodic positive Harris recurrent with stationary distribution π. Then the iterated kernels P(x, ·) converge to π. The rate of convergence of P(x, .) to π does not depend on the starting state x, but exact bounds may depend on x. Hence, it is of interest to obtain non uniform or quantitative bounds of the following form

Limit Theorems for subgeometric Markov chains

This paper studies limit theorems for Markov Chains with general state space under conditions which imply subgeometric ergodicity. We obtain a central limit theorem and moderate deviation principles for additive not necessarily bounded functional of the Markov chains under drift and minorization conditions which are weaker than the Foster-Lyapunov conditions. The regeneration-split chain method...

Explicit control of subgeometric ergodicity

This paper discusses explicit quantitative bounds on the convergence rates of Markov chains on general state spaces, under so-called drift and minorization conditions. The focus of this paper is on practical conditions that lead to subgeometric rates. Such explicit bounds are particularly relevant in applications where a family of Markov transition probabilities {Pθ : θ ∈ Θ} is considered and f...

Subgeometric rates of convergence of f -ergodic Markov chains

We study bounds on the rate of convergence of aperiodic Markov chains on a general state space to the stationary distribution. Our results generalize previous results on convergence rates for Markov chains [23]. We also improve results from [9] on convergence rates in the local renewal theorem. The results are applied to delayed random walks.

Subgeometric rates of convergence of f -ergodic strong Markov processes

We provide a condition for f -ergodicity of strong Markov processes at a subgeometric rate. This condition is couched in terms of a supermartingale property for a functional of the Markov process. Equivalent formulations in terms of a drift inequality on the extended generator and on the resolvent kernel are given. Results related to (f, r)-regularity and to moderate deviation principle for int...
