Abstract

In this paper, we establish an abstract framework for the approximation of the invariant probability measure for a Markov semigroup. Following Pag{\`e}s and Panloup [40] we use an Euler scheme with decreasing step (unadjusted Langevin algorithm). Under some contraction property with exponential rate and some regularization properties, we give an estimate of the error in total variation distance. This abstract framework covers the main results in [40] and [14]. As a specific application we study the convergence in total variation distance to the invariant measure for jump type equations. The main technical difficulty consists in proving the regularzation properties-this is done under an ellipticity condition, using Malliavin calculus for jump processes.
