ON THE EXISTENCE OF A UNIQUE INVARIANT PROBABILITY FOR A CLASS OF MARKOV PROCESSES

In this article, we consider the case that S is a topologically complete subspace of $R^{k}$ , and that .GAMMA. is a set of monotone functions on S into S. It is obtained the sugficient condition for the existence of a unique invariant probability to which $P^{(n}$/(x,dy) converges exponentially fast in a metric stronger than the Kolmogorov's distance. This extends the earlier results of Bhattacharya and Lee (1988) who considered the case .GAMMA. a set of nondecreasing functions.tions.
