The weak convergence of step processes to a homogeneous Poisson process with independent increments (Q1120891)

[For the entire collection of the original see Zbl 0626.00025.] Let \(\xi_{n1},...,\xi_{nm_ n}\) be independent random variables satisfying the condition of limiting uniform smallness and let \(t_{n1},...,t_{nm_ n}\) be a sequence of partitions of the segment [0,1]. Conditions for the weak convergence of the step processes \(\xi_ n(t)=\sum_{t_{nj}\leq t}\xi_{nj}\) in the Skorokhod space involving the properties of the Lévy metric are considered. Special attention is paid to the general case when the r.v.'s \(\xi_{ni}\) have no moments.
