Abstract
Criteria are derived for ergodicity and geometric ergodicity of Markov processes satisfying Xn+1 =f(Xn)+σ(Xn)e{open}n+1, where f, σ are measurable, {e{open}n} are i.i.d. with a (common) positive density, E|e{open}n|>∞. In the special case f(x)/x has limits, α, β as x→-∞ and x→+∞, respectively, it is shown that "α<1, β<1, αβ<1" is sufficient for geometric ergodicity, and that "α<-1, β≤1, αβ≤1" is necessary for recurrence.
