A measure approximation theorem for Wasserstein-robust expected values

Abstract

We consider the problem of finding the infimum, over probability measures being in a ball defined by Wasserstein distance, of the expected value of a bounded Lipschitz random variable on Rd\mathbf{R}^d. We show that if the σ\sigma-algebra is approximated in by a sequence of σ\sigma-algebras in a certain natural sense, then the solutions of the induced approximated minimization problems converge to that of the initial minimization problem.
