Stochastic stability of non-Markovian processes and adaptive quantizers

In many applications, the common assumption that a driving noise process affecting a system is independent or Markovian may not be realistic, but the noise process may be assumed to be stationary. To study such problems, this paper investigates stochastic stability properties of a class of non-Markovian processes, where the existence of a stationary measure, asymptotic mean stationarity and ergodicity conditions are studied. Applications in adaptive quantization and stochastic networked control are presented.
