For a sequence X = {X1, ... , Xn, ... } of independent identically distributed random variables, we construct the s-tuples Yi(s) = (Xi, ... , Xi+s-1), i = 1, 2, ... , n, and consider the random variables Fi = f(Yi(s)), i = 1, 2, ... , where f is a function defined on the set Rs and taking non-negative integer values.
We consider the sequence F = {F1, F2, ... } and study two random variables, the variable

equal to the number of matches of symbols on a segment of length n of the sequence F (here I{·} stands for the indicator of a random event), and the variable

equal to the number of matches of values of the function f of non-overlapping s-tuples of a segment of the sequence X of length n + s – 1.
With the use of the Stein method, we find sufficient conditions for the distribution of the random variables Zn(F) and Z′n(F) to converge to the compound Poisson law for the function f of a general form. As corollaries to these results we obtain both known and new limit theorems for the number of matches of values of a function of segments of sequences in a polynomial scheme for a series of particular types of the function f .
