Coupling for one-dimensional subcritical and critical CBI processes with jumps

Source abstract

We develop a cluster representation for one-dimensional CBI processes with jumps. Using this representation, we establish total variation convergence under conditions on the branching Lévy measure. In the subcritical case, we obtain polynomial and exponential rates under distinct regularity assumptions, while the strong Feller property is also established. In the critical case, we derive an explicit bound involving the cumulant integral. Our proofs use a coupling method that has proved effective for establishing ergodicity of Ornstein--Uhlenbeck processes.
