Suppose we have a locally compact separable space $X$, on which we define a Markov kernel $P:Xtimesmathcal B(X)to[0,1]$, which satisfies the weak Feller property, that is to say, for any $fin C_b(X)$, the function
$$
Pf(y)=int_X! P(y,mathrm dx)f(x)
$$
is continuous in $y$. Now suppose there exists an invariant measure $piinmathcal P(X)$, i.e. $P^n(x,cdot)topi$ weakly for all $x$.
Then the book by Meyn and Tweedie claims in Prop 6.4.2 that $$P^nftopi(f)$$ uniformly on compact sets for any $fin C_b(X)$. However, I don't see how to get anything better than pointwise convergence and uniform boundedness here.
