    Couplings via Comparison Principle and Exponential Ergodicity of SPDEs in the Hypoelliptic Setting
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2020) Butkovsky, Oleg; Scheutzow, Michael
    We develop a general framework for studying ergodicity of order-preserving Markov semigroups. We establish natural and in a certain sense optimal conditions for existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure and exponential convergence of transition probabilities of an order-preserving Markov process. As an application, we show exponential ergodicity and exponentially fast synchronization-by-noise of the stochastic reaction–diffusion equation in the hypoelliptic setting. This refines and complements corresponding results of Hairer and Mattingly (Electron J Probab 16:658–738, 2011). © 2020, The Author(s).

    Combinatorial considerations on the invariant measure of a stochastic matrix
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Stephan, Artur
    The invariant measure is a fundamental object in the theory of Markov processes. In finite dimensions a Markov process is defined by transition rates of the corresponding stochastic matrix. The Markov tree theorem provides an explicit representation of the invariant measure of a stochastic matrix. In this note, we given a simple and purely combinatorial proof of the Markov tree theorem. In the symmetric case of detailed balance, the statement and the proof simplifies even more.
