Formulation The theorems to be discussed in this chapter are important generalisations of those of the last chapter. There only elementary theorems Taylor s theorem and elementary results in complex analysis were used here we shall make use of the method of steepest descents. Theorem shows that for variables of class C d . d variables satisfying the very stringent condition of Cramer the limiting relations and are satisfied in the ranges 0 and 1 4 0 so long as These relations involve the Cramer series 2 z defined at . Now let 7r z n0 7i1z zr2z2 . be any given power series with real coefficients with non-zero radius of convergence. Let Xj be variables of class d and let Sn Zn a and pn x be as in the last chapter. We shall be interested in the possibility of limiting relations of the form P x 2tt exp - x2 3 X 7 X 71 1 - 1 n2 n2 and Pn -x 2n 2 exp - x2 x3 -----r 7l n2 in O x n . We shall see that as before it is sufficient to consider a . We remark that if a 3 Bn3 - o l n2 n2 . FORMULATION 191 so that relations like and imply local normal convergence. In the last chapter the zones of local normal convergence were characterised so that we may take this case as having been dealt with. Suppose therefore that For 0 x na 3 y 00 vs 3 En E n-i n2 s o Let s be the unique non-negative integer with i l a iU2.
