A refinement of the coupling method in renewal theory

Author

Listed:
  • Ney, Peter

Abstract

An overjump Markov chain associated with a pair of random walks is used to obtain a sharp estimate of their coupling time; and thence of the convergence rate of a renewal process. Lattice valued and non-singular cases are treated.
