Stein universality lemma for second-Wiener-chaos targets

About 8 years old · traced to

Let F∞F_\infty be a random variable in the second Wiener chaos, with associated differential operator A∞\mathcal{A}_\infty of order dd, and let H\mathcal{H} be an appropriate class of test functions. For h∈Hh\in\mathcal{H}, consider the Stein equation

A∞f(x)=h(x)−E[h(F∞)].\mathcal{A}_\infty f(x)=h(x)-\mathbb{E}[h(F_\infty)].

Stein universality lemma. For every h∈Hh\in\mathcal{H}, this equation admits a bounded solution fhf_h that is dd times differentiable, with

∥fh(r)∥∞<+∞for r=1,…,d,\lVert f_h^{(r)}\rVert_\infty<+\infty\qquad\text{for }r=1,\ldots,d,

and these bounds are independent of hh. The lemma is intended to provide the non-Gaussian counterpart of Stein's characterization and would complete the Stein part of the approach in this setting; the appropriate class H\mathcal{H} and the asserted uniform bounds remain to be established.
