Ergodicity and rate of convergence for a nonsectorial fiber lay-down process
Abstract
A stochastic model for the lay-down of fibers on a conveyor belt in the production process of nonwovens is investigated. In particular, convergence of the stochastic process to the stationary solution is proven and estimates on the speed of convergence are given. Numerical results and examples are presented and compared with the analytical estimates on the speed of convergence.
