Let $S_{n}$ be a sum of independent identically distribution random variables with finite first moment and $h_{M}$ be a call function defined by $g_{M}(x)=\max\{x-M,0\}$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}$, $M>0$. In this paper, we assume the random…

We use Stein's method to bound the Wasserstein distance of order $2$ between a measure $\nu$ and the Gaussian measure using a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t \geq 0}$ such that $X_t$ is drawn from $\nu$ for any $t > 0$. If the stochastic…
