Coupling for Markov renewal processes and the rate of convergence in ergodic theorems for processes with semi-Markov switchings. (English) Zbl 0802.60078

The paper contains results on coupling procedures aimed at obtaining rate of convergence results in certain models. The models considered are Markov renewal processes, semi-Markov renewal equations and applications to random processes with semi-Markov switching, a special case of which are regenerative processes.
