Convergence rate of the convolution of almost uniform measures on $\mathbb{Z}_p$
Statement Given a finite abelian group $G$ and two independent random variables $X,Y$ taking values in $G$ and satisfying $d_{TV}(X,U_G)\leqslant \delta$ and $d_{TV}(Y,U_G)\leqslant \delta$ (where $...

Quantitative version of ergodic theorem in Markov chains
Consider an irreducible Markov chain $X_t$ with finite state space $E$, and unique invariant measure $\pi$. Fix a function $V:E\to\mathbb R$ such that $E_\pi[V]=0$. The ergodic theorem tells us that, ...

Superlinear Convergence of a Markov Chain
Suppose that we have a Markov process $\{Z_t\}_{t=0}^\infty$, where $Z_t \geq 0$ for any $t$. Assume that, conditioning on $Z_t = z_t$, we have
$
\mathbb{E}\{Z_{t+1}|Z_t = z_t\} \leq \kappa z_t^2
$. ...

Conditions for absorption
Let $X$ be a Markov chain with countable state space $S$ and transition kernel $P$, and let $h \colon S \to [0,1]$ be a sub-harmonic or super-harmonic function. Assume that for all $\varepsilon >0$ ...

Representing a continuous time-inhomogeneous Markov chain by a stochastic integral
I am interested in the following mean-field model introduced in the reference below:
There are $N$ particles. At each instant of time, a particle's state is a particular value taken from the finite ...

For an ergodic Markov Chain
$$
\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^n f(X_i) \rightarrow E_\pi[f]
$$
where $\pi$ is the invariant distribution. I am also dealing with a Markovian process (a state space model to ...

CLT for a Markov Renewal Process
Suppose $(X,T)=\{(X_n,T_n)\}_{n\geq0}$ is a Markov renewal process, where $X$ is a finite-state, discrete-time Markov chain with state space $\{1,2,...,R\}$. $T$ is the additive component, more ...
