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 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…

We provide a general bound on the Wasserstein distance between two arbitrary distributions of sequences of Bernoulli random variables. The bound is in terms of a mixing quantity for the Glauber dynamics of one of the sequences, and a simple…
