Fourier Analytic Bounds for Zolotarev Distances and Applications to Empirical Measures
摘要
Zolotarev distances between probability measures are natural analogues of the Kantorovich metric \(W_1\) in which higher-order derivatives of the determining family of functions are considered. This work develops Fourier analytic methods towards the investigation of families of Zolotarev distances on the d-dimensional torus, with applications to rates of convergence of empirical measures, in analogy with the known results for the Kantorovich metrics \(W_p\) , \(p \geq 1\) .
