Abstract

For α(1,2)\alpha\in (1,2), we present a generalized central limit theorem for α\alpha-stable random variables under sublinear expectation. The foundation of our proof is an interior regularity estimate for partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). A classical generalized central limit theorem is recovered as a special case, provided a mild but natural additional condition holds. Our approach contrasts with previous arguments for the result in the linear setting which have typically relied upon tools that are non-existent in the sublinear framework, for example, characteristic functions.
