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...
متن کاملSubgeometric ergodicity of Markov chains
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 o...
متن کاملPractical drift conditions for subgeometric rates of convergence
We present a new drift condition which implies rates of convergence to the stationary distribution of the iterates of a ψ-irreducible aperiodic and positive recurrent transition kernel. This condition, extending a condition introduced by Jarner and Roberts (2002) for polynomial convergence rates, turns out to be very convenient to prove subgeometric rates of convergence. Several applications ar...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium steady state and subgeometric ergodicity for a chain of three coupled rotors
We consider a chain of three rotors (rotators) whose ends are coupled to stochastic heat baths. The temperatures of the two baths can be different, and we allow some constant torque to be applied at each end of the chain. Under some non-degeneracy condition on the interaction potentials, we show that the process admits a unique invariant probability measure, and that it is ergodic with a stretc...
متن کاملFlux jumps under time - dependent external conditions
The paper investigates the influence of the time-dependent external conditions on the stability criterion of the critical state in a hard superconductor with respect to flux jumps. It has been shown that the existence of a non-linear region in the current-voltage characteristic can result in a significant delay of the onset of the instability. The methods developed in this paper make it possibl...
