Central limit theorem for Markov processes with spectral gap in the Wasserstein metric

Probability 2012-03-26 v6

Abstract

Suppose that {Xt,t0}\{X_t,\,t\ge0\} is a non-stationary Markov process, taking values in a Polish metric space EE. We prove the law of large numbers and central limit theorem for an additive functional of the form 0Tψ(Xs)ds\int_0^T\psi(X_s)ds, provided that the dual transition probability semigroup, defined on measures, is strongly contractive in an appropriate Wasserstein metric. Function ψ\psi is assumed to be Lipschitz on EE.
