In this paper, we establish Berry--Esseen bounds for both self-normalized and non-self-normalized sums of locally dependent random variables. The proofs are based on Stein's method together with a concentration inequality approach. We…

This paper is devoted to study a characterization of (strong) local maximal monotonicity in terms of a property involving the graphical derivative of a set-valued mapping defined on a Hilbert space. As a consequence, a second-order…

We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…
