Variational principles for asymptotic variance of general Markov processes

Probability 2021-06-02 v1

Abstract

A variational formula for the asymptotic variance of general Markov processes is obtained. As application, we get a upper bound of the mean exit time of reversible Markov processes, and some comparison theorems between the reversible and non-reversible diffusion processes.
