Abstract

Coupling by reflection mixed with synchronous coupling is constructed for a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by L\'{e}vy noises. As an application, we establish the exponential contractivity of the associated semigroups (Pt)t0(P_t)_{t\ge0} with respect to the standard LpL^p-Wasserstein distance for all p[1,)p\in[1,\infty). In particular, consider the following SDE: dXt=dZt+b(Xt)dt,\mathrm{d}X_t=\mathrm{d}Z_t+b(X_t)\,\mathrm{d}t, where (Zt)t0(Z_t)_{t\ge0} is a symmetric α\alpha-stable process on Rd\mathbb{R}^d with α(1,2)\alpha\in(1,2). We show that if the drift term bb satisfies that for any x,yRdx,y\in\mathbb{R}^d, b(x)b(y),xy\casesK1xy2,xyL0;\crK2xyθ,xy>L0\bigl\langle b(x)-b(y),x-y\bigr\rangle\le\cases{K_1|x-y|^2,\qquad |x-y|\le L_0;\cr -K_2|x-y|^{\theta},\qquad |x-y|>L_0} holds with some positive constants K1K_1, K2K_2, L0>0L_0>0 and θ2\theta\ge2, then there is a constant λ:=λ(θ,K1,K2,L0)>0\lambda:=\lambda(\theta,K_1,K_2,L_0)>0 such that for all p[1,)p\in[1,\infty), t>0t>0 and x,yRdx,y\in\mathbb{R}^d, Wp(δxPt,δyPt)C(p,θ,K1,K2,L0)eλt/p[xy1/pxy1+xy1(1,)×(2,)(t,θ)].W_p(\delta_xP_t,\delta_yP_t)\le C(p,\theta,K_1,K_2,L_0)\mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t/p}\biggl[\frac{|x-y|^{1/p}\vee|x-y|}{1+|x-y|{\mathbf{1}}_{(1,\infty )\times (2,\infty)}(t,\theta)}\biggr].
