Abstract

The coupling method is well fitted to be used in the study of the asymptotics of one-dimensional diffusion processes. We give an elementary proof of Orey's theorem in the recurrent case, and establish rate results for tendency towards equilibrium under moment conditions on the speed measure and the initial distributions.
