Abstract

The notions of petite set, small set, and (weak) Doeblin point are discussed. For Feller chains, it is shown that the existence of an accessible weak Doeblin point implies irreducibility and thus unique ergodicity. This observation is applied to several examples in discrete and continuous time. In particular, for piecewise deterministic Markov processes and stochastic differential equations, it is shown how the accessibility condition can be phrased as a control problem and how Doeblin points are closely related to the classical Hörmander conditions for hypoelliptic diffusions.
