TY - JOUR A1 - Gairing, Jan A1 - Högele, Michael A1 - Kosenkova, Tetiana A1 - Kulik, Alexei Michajlovič T1 - Coupling distances between Levy measures and applications to noise sensitivity of SDE JF - Stochastics and dynamic N2 - We introduce the notion of coupling distances on the space of Levy measures in order to quantify rates of convergence towards a limiting Levy jump diffusion in terms of its characteristic triplet, in particular in terms of the tail of the Levy measure. The main result yields an estimate of the Wasserstein-Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance on path space between two Levy diffusions in terms of the coupling distances. We want to apply this to obtain precise rates of convergence for Markov chain approximations and a statistical goodness-of-fit test for low-dimensional conceptual climate models with paleoclimatic data.
