We present upper bounds for the Wasserstein distance of order $p$ between the marginals of L\'evy processes, including Gaussian approximations for jumps of infinite activity. Using the convolution structure, we further derive upper bounds…

We study the approximation of a (finite) continuous-time Markov chain by a Markov chain on a reduced state space, and we provide formal error bounds for the approximated transient distributions in the Wasserstein distance. These bounds…

The Wasserstein distance is an attractive tool for data analysis but statistical inference is hindered by the lack of distributional limits. To overcome this obstacle, for probability measures supported on finitely many points, we derive…

We give a new proof of the classical Central Limit Theorem, in the Mallows ($L^r$-Wasserstein) distance. Our proof is elementary in the sense that it does not require complex analysis, but rather makes use of a simple subadditive inequality…

Consider the empirical measure, $\hat{\mathbb{P}}_N$, associated to $N$ i.i.d. samples of a given probability distribution $\mathbb{P}$ on the unit interval. For fixed $\mathbb{P}$ the Wasserstein distance between $\hat{\mathbb{P}}_N$ and…

We study the distribution of the magnetization of the critical mean-field O(N) model with N > 1. Specifically, we bound the Wasserstein distance between the finite-volume and limiting distributions, in terms of the number of spins. To…

For each $n\ge 1$, let $X_{n,1},\ldots,X_{n,N_n}$ be real random variables and $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{N_n}X_{n,i}$. Let $m_n\ge 1$ be an integer. Suppose $(X_{n,1},\ldots,X_{n,N_n})$ is $m_n$-dependent, $E(X_{ni})=0$, $E(X_{ni}^2)<\infty$ and…

By the Lindeberg principle, we develop in this paper an approximation to one dimensional (possibly) asymmetric $\alpha$-stable distributions with $\alpha \in (0,2)$ in the smooth Wasserstein distance. It is the first time that the general…

We provide a systematic approach to stable central limit theorems for d-dimensional martingale difference arrays and martingale difference sequences. The conditions imposed are straightforward extensions of the univariate case.
