One reason why standard formulations of the central limit theorems are not applicable in high-dimensional and non-stationary regimes is the lack of a suitable limit object. Instead, suitable distributional approximations can be used, where…

Suppose that $\{X_t,\,t\ge0\}$ is a non-stationary Markov process, taking values in a Polish metric space $E$. We prove the law of large numbers and central limit theorem for an additive functional of the form $\int_0^T\psi(X_s)ds$,…

We consider N single server infinite buffer queues with service rate \beta. Customers arrive at rate N\alpha, choose L queues uniformly, and join the shortest. We study the processes R^N for large N, where R^N_t(k) is the fraction of queues…
