Distribution of additive arithmetic functions with shifted arguments

In this paper for an additive arithmetic function \(f\) and an unbounded function \(B\), one investigates conditions under which the distribution functions \[ \nu_ x(n:\sum^{s}_{j=1}B_ j^{-1}(x)f_ j(n+a_ j(x))-A(x)<u) \] converge to some limit distribution law as \(x\to \infty\). Here \(A(x)\) is the centering function. Definition. A normalizing function \(B(x)\) is said to be b-admissible for the additive function \(f(n)\) if \[ (\ln x)^{-1}\sum_{p\leq x,f(p)-b \ln p<uB(x)}p^{-1} \ln p \to E(u),\quad x\to \infty, \] where \(E(u)=1\) for \(u>0\), \(E(u)=0\) for \(u\leq 0\). Then the following is proved: Theorem. Assume that \(B_ j(x)\) is a \(b_ j\)-admissible normalizing function for \(f_ j(n)\), \(1\leq j\leq s\), and one has \[ \lim_{x\to \infty}x^{-1}\sum_{p^{\alpha}>x}\min (1,| f_ j(p^{\alpha},b_ j,x)|)\sum_{n\leq x_ i,p^{\alpha}\| n+a_ j(x)}1=0,\quad 1\leq j\leq s, \] a(x)\(<\exp (x^{1/3})\). If the sequence of distribution functions \[ V_ x(u)=\nu_ x(n:\sum^{s}_{j=1}B_ j^{-1}(x)f_ j(n+a_ j(x))-A(x)<u) \] converges weakly to some limit distribution law \(F(u)\), then the sequence of distribution functions \[ F_ x(u)=P(\sum_{p\leq x}Y_{x,p}-A^*(x)<u) \] converges to the law \(F(u)\) and conversely. \(A(x)\) and \(A^*(x)\) are connected by the relation \[ A(x)=\sum^{s}_{j=1}B_ j^{-1}(x)b_ j \ln (x+a_ j(x))+A^*(x)+c+o(1),\quad x\to \infty. \] This theorem generalizes a theorem of the author [ibid. 17, No. 4, 127--138 (1977; Zbl 0379.10032)] and also partially generalizes results of the reviewer and \textit{N. M. Timofeev} [ibid. 16, No. 4, 133--147 (1976; Zbl 0363.10033)] and \textit{N. V. Neustroev} [VINITI/Moscow, Dep. No. 3883-84 (1984)]. The situation considered in the theorem is similar to the problem of distribution of additive functions in ``short intervals and for \(s=1\) essentially coincides with this problem.
