Abstract

Let α(0,2)\alpha\in(0,2) and dNd\in\mathbb{N}. Consider the following stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by α\alpha-stable process in Rd\mathbb{R}^d: dXt=b(Xt)dt+σ(Xt)dLtα,X0=xRd, dX_t=b(X_t)dt+\sigma(X_{t-})d L^{\alpha}_t, \quad X_0=x\in\mathbb{R}^d, where b:RdRdb:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^d and σ:RdRdRd\sigma:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^d\otimes\mathbb{R}^d are locally γ\gamma-H\"older continuous with γ(0(1α)+,1]\gamma\in(0\vee(1-\alpha)^+,1], LtαL^\alpha_t is a dd-dimensional rotationally invariant α\alpha-stable process. Under some dissipative and non-degenerate assumptions on b,σb,\sigma, we show the VV-uniformly exponential ergodicity for the semigroup PtP_t associated with (Xt(x),t0)(X_t(x),t\geq 0). Our proofs are mainly based on the heat kernel estimates recently established in \cite{MZ20} through showing the strong Feller property and the irreducibility of PtP_t. It is interesting that when α\alpha goes to zero, the diffusion coefficient σ\sigma can grow faster than drift bb. As applications, we put forward a new heavy-tailed sampling scheme.
