Statement of the theorems The theorems of this chapter do not have a collective character and are related to Theorem . We shall consider a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables Xj with X 0 V Xj 72 0 satisfying Cramer s condition C E exp u XJ oo where a is a positive constant. We shall call such variables those of class C and distinguish the subclass C d of variables with a bounded continuous probability density g x and the subclass C e of lattice variables . those taking only the values b kh k 0 1 . h being maximal. Assuming as before that Zn X1 X2 . X ani we remark that for C d variables Z has a probability density p x while for C e variables Zn takes only the values x xnk kh bn on . The local theorems of Richter 147 148 treat the asymptotic behaviour of p x and P Z x fc respectively. We shall consider only the simplest formulation of these theorems in order to make the proofs reasonably simple c . Theorem . If the variables Xj belong to C d then for x 1 x o n as n- co we have .
