We provide a nonasymptotic analysis of convergence to stationarity for a collection of Markov chains on multivariate state spaces, from arbitrary starting points, thereby generalizing results in [Khare and Zhou Ann. Appl. Probab. 19 (2009)…

We initiate the study of the norm-squared of the momentum map as a rigorous tool in infinite dimensions. In particular, we calculate the Hessian at a critical point, show that it is positive semi-definite along the complexified orbit, and…

We study functional inequalities for Markov chains on discrete spaces with entropic Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our main results are that when curvature is non-negative, but not necessarily positive, the spectral gap, the Cheeger…

In this paper, we study the ergodicity of invariant sublinear expectation of sublinear Markovian semigroup. For this, we first develop an ergodic theory of an expectation-preserving map on a sublinear expectation space. Ergodicity is…

A nonlinear Markov chain is a discrete time stochastic process whose transitions depend on both the current state and the current distribution of the process. The nonlinear Markov chain over a infinite state space can be identified by a…

Motivated by its connection to the limit behaviour of imprecise Markov chains, we introduce and study the so-called convergence of upper transition operators: the condition that for any function, the orbit resulting from iterated…

In this article we consider means of positive operators on a Hilbert space. We extend the theory of matrix power means to arbitrary operator means in the sense of Kubo-Ando. The basis of the extension is relying on ideas coming from…

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated…

We provide a condition for f-ergodicity of strong Markov processes at a subgeometric rate. This condition is couched in terms of a supermartingale property for a functional of the Markov process. Equivalent formulations in terms of a drift…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Markov operators $P_\mu$ defined by convolution with a probability measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\mathbb T$. We prove that when $\mu$ is adapted, $P_\mu$ satisfies Doeblin's condition if and only if…
