Abstract

In this paper we consider the field of local times of a discrete-time Markov chain on a general state space, and obtain uniform (in time) upper bounds on the total variation distance between this field and the one of a sequence of n i.i.d random variables with law given by the invariant measure of that Markov chain. The proof of this result uses a refinement of the soft local time method of Popov and Teixeira (2015). (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
