Derivation of local limit theorems for a sequence X sub n of independent integral-valued lattice random variables involving only a finite number of distinct nondegenerate distributions. Given appropriate sequences A sub n and B sub n of constants such that 1/B sub n (X sub 1 +
Investigation of some conditions which are sufficient for a sequence of independent integral-valued lattice random variables to satisfy a local theorem in strengthened form. A number of theorems giving the conditions under which the investigated sequence satisfies a local theorem in strengthened form are proven with the aid of lemmas derived by Kruglov (1968).
