Abstract: | We show how the essential spectral radius r
e
(Q) of a bounded positive kernel Q, acting on bounded functions, is linked to the lower approximation of Q by certain absolutely continuous kernels. The standart Doeblin’s condition can be interpreted in this context, and, when
suitably reformulated, it leads to a formula for r
e
(Q). This results may be used to characterize the Markov kernels having a quasi-compact action on a space of measurable functions
bounded with respect to some test function, when no irreducibilty and aperiodicity are assumed.
