On maximal agreement couplings

Probability 2016-08-05 v1

Abstract

We call a coupling of two stochastic processes which maximizes the time until the first disagreement a maximal agreement coupling. We show that such a coupling always exists. Furthermore, it is possible to construct a lower bound on the disagreement time which is independent of one of the two processes.
