Polynomial deviation bounds for recurrent Harris processes having general state space

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Consider a strong Markov process in continuous time, taking values in some Polish state space. Recently, Douc, Fort and Guillin (2009) introduced verifiable conditions in terms of a supermartingale property implying an explicit control of modulated moments of hitting times. We show how this control can be translated into a control of polynomial moments of abstract regeneration times which are obtained by using the regeneration method of Nummelin, extended to the time-continuous context. As a consequence, if a p−th moment of the regeneration times exists, we obtain non asymptotic deviation bounds of the form P_{ u}(|frac1tint_0^tf(X_s)ds-mu(f)|geqge)leq K(p)frac1{t^{p- 1}}frac 1{ge^{2(p-1)}}|f|_infty^{2(p-1)}, p geq 2. Here, f is a bounded function and mu is the invariant measure of the process. We give several examples, including elliptic stochastic differential equations and stochastic differential equations driven by a jump noise.
