Kolmogorov three-series theorem, three-series criterion
For each 
, let 
be the truncation function 
for 
, 
for 
, 
for 
.
Let 
be independent random variables with distributions 
. Consider the sums 
, with distributions 
. In order that these convolutions 
tend to a proper limit distribution 
as 
, it is necessary and sufficient that for all 
,
 | (a1) |
 | (a2) |
 | (a3) |
where 
.
This can be reformulated as the Kolmogorov three-series theorem: The series 
converges with probability 
if (a1)–(a3) hold, and it converges with probability zero otherwise.
