In particular, conditions are presented under which the distribution of a sequence of multiple Wiener-Ito stochastic integrals with respect to a compensated Poisson measure converges to a Gamma distribution. As an illustration, we present a quantitative version and a non-central extension of a classical theorem by de Jong in the case of degenerate U-statistics of order two. Several multidimensional extensions, in particular allowing for mixed or hybrid limit theorems, are also provided.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-30T17:04:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60G55", "60H05", "60H07", "62E20" ], "keywords": [ "poisson space", "gamma limits", "multiple wiener-ito stochastic integrals", "compensated poisson measure converges", "hybrid limit theorems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.7289P" } } }
