Abstract
This work studies a class of switching diffusion systems where the switching component takes values in a countable state space and its transition rates depend on the history of the continuous component. Under suitable conditions, we construct a successful coupling that establishes stability of the underlying process in the total variation norm. The coupling approach also enables us to derive strong ergodicity for the underlying process. Finally, we illustrate the main results with an -body mean-field model featuring past-dependent switching and a countable state space.
