Lemma 1 is widely used in the stability proof of stochastic process.
Lemma 1 Assume that $\xi_k$ is a stochastic process and there is a stochastic process $V(\xi_k)$ as well as real numbers $\upsilon_{\min}$,$\upsilon_{\max}$, and $0<\lambda<1$,such that $\forall k$ $$ (a) \quad \upsilon_{\min}\left \|\xi_k \right\|^2 \leq V(\xi_k) \leq \upsilon_{\max}\left \|\xi_k \right\|^2 $$ $$ (b) \quad E[ V(\xi_{k+1})\big |\xi_{k}] - V(\xi_k) \leq \mu-\lambda V(\xi_k) $$ are fulfilled.Then the stochastic process is bounded in mean square, i.e.,
$$ E[\left \|\xi_k \right\|^2] \leq \frac{\upsilon_{\max}}{\upsilon_{\min}}E[\left \|\xi_0 \right\|^2](1-\lambda)^k + \frac{\mu}{\upsilon_{\min}}\sum_{i=1}^{k-1}(1-\lambda)^{i} $$ The question is, if the condition b in Lemma 1 is modified as $$ (b) \quad E[ V(\xi_{k+1})\big |\xi_{k}] - V(\xi_k) \leq \mu-\lambda V(\xi_k)+\gamma \xi_k $$ Then if the stochastic process is $\xi_k$ still bounded in mean square? And what conditions parameter $\mu$,$\lambda$,$\gamma$ need to satisfy?

  • $\begingroup$ if possible, can you include some references for the above objects, lemma and its proof? Then we can try to modify it. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 5, 2022 at 18:09

  • $\begingroup$ in the Agniel/Jury work, if you define a new Wk in (28) by now removing gamma xi_k, do you lose supermartingale? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 9, 2022 at 17:27
  • $\begingroup$ if possible, add the above references in your post and also some specific attempts and where you got stuck. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 9, 2022 at 17:29
