Rate of convergence in Trotter's approximation theorem and its applications

The celebrated Trotter approximation theorem provides a sufficient condition for the convergence of a sequence of operator semigroups in terms of the corresponding sequence of infinitesimal generators. There exist a few results on the rate of convergence in Trotter's theorem under some constraints. In the present paper, a new rate of convergence in Trotter's theorem in full generality is given. Moreover, we see that this rate of convergence works well to obtain quantitative estimates for some limit theorems in probability theory.
