A bound on the Wasserstein-2 distance between linear combinations of independent random variables
B Arras, E Azmoodeh, G Poly, Y Swan - Stochastic processes and their …, 2019 - Elsevier
We provide a bound on a distance between finitely supported elements and general
elements of the unit sphere of ℓ 2 (N∗). We use this bound to estimate the Wasserstein-2 …
