On strong and almost sure local limit theorems for a probabilistic model of the Dickman distribution

Let $\{Z_k\}_{k\geqslant 1}$ denote a sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables defined by ${\mathbb P}(Z_k=1)=1/k=1-{\mathbb P}(Z_k=0)$ $(k\geqslant 1)$ and put $T_n:=\sum_{1\leqslant k\leqslant n}kZ_k$. It is then known that $T_n/n$ converges weakly to a real random variable $D$ with density proportional to the Dickman function, defined by the delay-differential equation $u\varrho'(u)+\varrho(u-1)=0$ $(u>1)$ with initial condition $\varrho(u)=1$ $(0\leqslant u\leqslant 1)$. Improving on earlier work, we propose asymptotic formulae with remainders for the corresponding local and almost sure limit theorems.
