Hitting Times, Functional Inequalities, Lyapunov Conditions and Uniform Ergodicity

چکیده
The use of Lyapunov conditions for proving functional inequalities was initiated in [5]. It was shown in [4, 30] that there is an equivalence between a Poincaré inequality, the existence of some Lyapunov function and the exponential integrability of hitting times. In the present paper, we close the scheme of the interplay between Lyapunov conditions and functional inequalities by • showing that strong functional inequalities are equivalent to Lyapunov type conditions; • showing that these Lyapunov conditions are characterized by the finiteness of generalized exponential moments of hitting times. We also give some complement concerning the link between Lyapunov conditions and integrability property of the invariant probability measure and as such transportation inequalities, and we show that some “unbounded Lyapunov conditions” can lead to uniform ergodicity, and coming down from infinity property.

Poincaré inequalities and hitting times
Equivalence of the spectral gap, exponential integrability of hitting times and Lyapunov conditions are well known. We give here the correspondance (with quantitative results) for reversible diffusion processes. As a consequence, we generalize results of Bobkov in the one dimensional case on the value of the Poincaré constant for logconcave measures to superlinear potentials. Finally, we study ...
متن کاملBounds on Regeneration times and Limit Theorems for Subgeometric Markov Chains Bornes Des Temps De Régénération Et Théorèmes Limites Pour Des Chaînes De Markov Sous-géométriques
Abstract. 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 ch...

متن کاملSome functional inequalities in variable exponent spaces with a more generalization of uniform continuity condition
Some functional inequalities in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces are presented. The bi-weighted modular inequality with variable exponent $p(.)$ for the Hardy operator restricted to non- increasing function which is$$int_0^infty (frac{1}{x}int_0^x f(t)dt)^{p(x)}v(x)dxleqCint_0^infty f(x)^{p(x)}u(x)dx,$$ is studied. We show that the exponent $p(.)$ for which these modular ine...
متن کاملAsymptotics for Hitting Times
In this paper we characterize possible asymptotics for hitting times in aperiodic ergodic dynamical systems: asymptotics are proved to be the distribution functions of subprobability measures on the line belonging to the functional class (A) F = F is continuous and concave; F (t) ≤ t for t ≥ 0.. Note that all possible asymptotics are absolutely continuous.
