For probability measures on a complete separable metric space, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Kantorovich transportation problem. We also obtain sufficient conditions (which sometimes also become necessary) for the convergence, in transportation, of probability measures when the cost function is continuous, non-decreasing and depends on the distance. As an application, the CLT in the transportation distance is proved for independent and some dependent stationary sequences.

We consider the problem of optimal transportation with quadratic cost between a empirical measure and a general target probability on R d , with d $ge$ 1. We provide new results on the uniqueness and stability of the associated optimal transportation potentials , namely, the minimizers in the dual formulation of the optimal transportation problem. As a consequence, we show that a CLT holds for the empirical transportation cost under mild moment and smoothness requirements. The limiting distributions are Gaussian and admit a simple description in terms of the optimal transportation potentials.
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 related to this metric. The key is to analyse the case where equality holds. We provide some results concerning rates of convergence. We also consider convergence to stable distributions, and obtain a bound on the rate of such convergence.

We describe a new framework of a sublinear expectation space and the related notions and results of distributions, independence. A new notion of G-distributions is introduced which generalizes our G-normal-distribution in the sense that mean-uncertainty can be also described. W present our new result of central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. This theorem can be also regarded as a generalization of the law of large number in the case of mean-uncertainty.
Our purpose is to prove central limit theorem for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chain under the condition of uniform convergence of transition probability matrices for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chain in Ces`aro sense. Furthermore, we obtain a corresponding moderate deviation theorem for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chain by Gartner-Ellis theorem and exponential equivalent method.
Given ${X_k}$ is a martingale difference sequence. And given another ${Y_k}$ which has dependency within the sequence. Assume ${X_k}$ is independent with ${Y_k}$, we study the properties of the sums of product of two sequences $sum_{k=1}^{n} X_k Y_k$. We obtain product-CLT, a modification of classical central limit theorem, which can be useful in the study of random projections. We also obtain the rate of convergence which is similar to the Berry-Essen theorem in the classical CLT.
