For any $n\\geq 1$, set $V_n=\\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} H_q(B_{k+1}-B_k)$. The aim of the current paper is to derive, in the case when the Hurst index verifies $H>1-1/(2q)$, an upper bound for the total variation distance between the laws $\\mathscr{L}(Z_n)$ and $\\mathscr{L}(Z)$, where $Z_n$ stands for the correct renormalization of $V_n$ which converges in distribution towards $Z$. Our results should be compared with those obtained recently by Nourdin and Peccati (2007) in the case when $H<1-1/(2q)$, corresponding to the situation where one has normal approximation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-04-16T06:11:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60G15", "60H07" ], "keywords": [ "fractional brownian motion", "hermite power variations", "error bounds", "non-normal approximation", "total variation distance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0804.2528B" } } }
