Central limit theorem under uncertain linear transformations

Probability 2015-07-20 v2

Abstract

We prove a variant of the central limit theorem (CLT) for a sequence of i.i.d. random variables ξj\xi_j, perturbed by a stochastic sequence of linear transformations AjA_j, representing the model uncertainty. The limit, corresponding to a "worst" sequence AjA_j, is expressed in terms of the viscosity solution of the GG-heat equation. In the context of the CLT under sublinear expectations this nonlinear parabolic equation appeared previously in the papers of S.Peng. Our proof is based on the technique of half-relaxed limits from the theory of approximation schemes for fully nonlinear partial differential equations.
