abstract = {We develop quantitative bounds on rates of convergence for continuous-time Markov processes on general state spaces. Our methods involve coupling and shift-coupling, and make use of minorization and drift conditions. In particular, we use auxiliary coupling to establish the existence of small (or pseudo-small) sets. We apply our method to some diffusion examples. We are motivated by interest in the use of Langevin diffusions for Monte Carlo simulation.},
