Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As was noted in the famous book Limit Distributions for Sums of Independent Random Variables by B.V. Gnedenko and A.N. Kolmogorov, "actually, the cognitive value of probability theory is revealed only by limit theorems." The significance of limit theorems of probability theory, and in particular, the central limit theorem, cannot be overestimated. In applied probability, there is a convention, according to which a model distribution can be regarded as reasonable and/or justified enough only if it is an asymptotic approximation, that is, there exist a more or less simple settings and the corresponding limit theorem in which the model under consideration is a limit distribution. Limit theorems suggest theoretic models for many real processes, for example, arising in physics, financial mathematics, risk theory, control theory, data mining, queuing theory, and many others. In order to successfully use an approximation hinted at by a limit theorem, one has to be able to estimate its accuracy, or to dispose a convergence rate estimate. On the other hand, the proofs of limit theorems and construction of convergence rate estimates usually involve analytical methods of probability, say, Stein’s method, method of probability metrics, smoothing inequalities, characteristic functions, Laplace transforms, etc. For the sake of optimization of the error bounds in limit theorems, one may face various extreme problems.
In this Special Issue, papers are collected that produce or improve various limit theorems of probability theory and convergence rate estimates, as well as develop analytical methods of probability theory and apply stochastic models produced by limit theorems to the solution of applied and theoretical problems in various fields.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
