In this paper, we study in the Markovian case the rate of convergence in the Wasserstein distance of an approximation of the solution to a BSDE given by a BSDE which is driven by a scaled random walk as introduced in Briand, Delyon and…
Motivated by a theorem of Barbour, we revisit some of the classical limit theorems in probability from the viewpoint of the Stein method. We setup the framework to bound Wasserstein distances between some distributions on infinite…
The original Donsker theorem says that a standard random walk converges in distribution to a Brownian motion in the space of continuous functions. It has recently been extended to enriched random walks and enriched Brownian motion. We use…
Donsker's theorem shows that random walks behave like Brownian motion in an asymptotic sense. This result can be used to approximate expectations associated with the time and location of a random walk when it first crosses a nonlinear…
In this paper we consider a random walk of a particle in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Convergence of different transformations of trajectories of random flights with Poisson switching moments has been obtained by Davydov and Konakov, as well as…
We establish general upper bounds on the Kolmogorov distance between two probability distributions in terms of the distance between these distributions as measured with respect to the Wasserstein or smooth Wasserstein metrics. These bounds…
We consider the following second-order stochastic differential equation on $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$: \begin{equation*} dX_t^m=Y_t^mdt, \quad mdY_t^m=b(X_t^m)dt+\sigma(X_t^m)dB_t-Y^m_tdt, \end{equation*} where $X^m_t$ and $Y^m_t$ represent the…
We extend the ideas of (Barbour 1990) and use Stein's method to obtain a bound on the distance between a scaled time-changed random walk and a time-changed Brownian Motion. We then apply this result to bound the distance between a…
Brownian motion and scaled and interpolated simple random walk can be jointly embedded in a probability space in such a way that almost surely the $n$-step walk is within a uniform distance $O(n^{-1/2}\log n)$ of the Brownian path for all…
Let $\xi(k,n)$ be the local time of a simple symmetric random walk on the line. We give a strong approximation of the centered local time process $\xi(k,n)-\xi(0,n)$ in terms of a Wiener sheet and an independent Wiener process, time changed…
We study the rate of convergence w.r.t.~a Wasserstein type distance for random walk approximations of mean field BSDEs. Our method does not use the particle method but instead a freezing technique. We extend results by Briand, Ch. Geiss, S.…
We establish asymptotic upper and lower bounds for the Wasserstein distance of any order $p\ge 1$ between the empirical measure of a fractional Brownian motion on a flat torus and the uniform Lebesgue measure. Our inequalities reveal an…
We provide a general steady-state diffusion approximation result which bounds the Wasserstein distance between the reversible measure $\mu$ of a diffusion process and the measure $\nu$ of an approximating Markov chain. Our result is…
The Wasserstein distances $W_p$ ($p\geq 1$), defined in terms of solution to the Monge-Kantorovich problem, are known to be a useful tool to investigate transport equations. In particular, the Benamou-Brenier formula characterizes the…
In this article we establish some estimates related to the Gaussian densities and to Hermite polynomials in order to obtain an almost sure estimate for each term of the It\^{o}-Wiener expansion of the self-intersection local times of the…
Von Renesse and the author (Ann. Prob. '09) developed a second order calculus on the Wasserstein space P([0,1]) of probability measures on the unit interval. The basic objects of interest had been Dirichlet form, semigroup and continuous…
We study the rate of convergence of two discrete processes towards the Brownian bridge: the random walk conditioned to be zero at time 2n and the empirical process which appears in the Glivencko-Cantelli theorem. Combining a functional…
We construct a coupling between the random walk composed of L\'evy area increments from a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion and a random walk composed of quadratic polynomials of Gaussian random variables. This coupling construction is used…
We estimate rates of convergence for empirical measures associated with the subordinated fractional Brownian motion to the uniform distribution on the flat torus under the Wasserstein distance $\mathbb{W}_p$ for all $p\geq1$. In particular,…
We establish inequalities that compare the p-Wasserstein distance to distances which are built as suprema of box measures. More precisely, when the measures are supported on $[0,1]^d$, we obtain sharp upper-bounds of the $p$-Wasserstein…
