COMPUTABLE STRONGLY ERGODIC RATES OF CONVERGENCE FOR CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKOV CHAINS
COMPUTABLE STRONGLY ERGODIC RATES OF CONVERGENCE FOR CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKOV CHAINS
Abstract In this paper, we investigate computable lower bounds for the best strongly ergodic rate of convergence of the transient probability distribution to the stationary distribution for stochastically monotone continuous-time Markov chains and reversible continuous-time Markov chains, using a drift function and the expectation of the first hitting time on …
