Abstract: | We prove that strong ergodicity of a Markov process is linked with a spectral radius of a certain “associated” semigroup operator, although, not a “natural” one. We also give sufficient conditions for weak ergodicity and provide explicit estimates of the convergence rate. To establish these results we construct a modification of the Vaserstein coupling. Some applications including mixing properties are also discussed. |
