On Mukhin’s necessary and sufficient condition for the validity of the local limit theorem
-
Michel J. G. Weber
Abstract
Mukhin found in 1984 an important necessary and sufficient condition for the validity of the local limit theorem. Revisiting the succinct proof given in [A. B. Mukhin, Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of local limit theorems, Dokl. Akad. Nauk USSR 1984, 8, 7–8], we could only prove rigorously a weaker necessary and sufficient condition, with a significantly different formulation. This is the object of this short note.
