On the asymptotic equidistribution of sums of independent
... ABSTRACT. - For a sum Sn of n I. I. D. random variables the idea of approximate equidistribution is made precise by introducing a notion of asymptotic translation invariance. The distribution of Sn is shown to be asymptotically translation invariant in this sense iff Si is nonlattice. Some ramificat ...
