Abstract

Let X,X1,X2,X, X_1, X_2,\ldots be a sequence of non-lattice i.i.d. random variables with EX=0,{\bf E} X=0, EX=1,{\bf E} X=1, and let Sn:=X1++XnS_n:= X_1+ \cdots+ X_n, n1.n\ge 1. We refine Stone's integro-local theorem by deriving the first term in the asymptotic expansion for the probability P(Sn[x,x+Δ)){\bf P} \bigl(S_n\in [x,x+\Delta)\bigr) with xR,x\in\mathbb R, Δ>0,\Delta >0, as nn\to\infty and establishing uniform bounds for the remainder term, under the assumption that the distribution of XX satisfies Cram\'er's strong non-lattice condition and EXr<{\bf E} |X|^r<\infty for some r3r\ge 3.

Comments

11 pages. Fixed two obvious typos in the statement of Theorem 1 (the upper bounds there are for the absolute value |R_n| of the reminder term, not just for R_n). We also added two remarks in Section 1 commenting on the main result of the paper
