A local limit theorem for a number of multiple recurrences generated by some mixing processes with applications to Young towers (Q2680345)

The author establishes local central limit theorems for certain classes of so-called nonconventional sums. A local central limit theorem is established for sums of the form \(\sum_{n=1}^NG(\xi_n,\xi_{2n},\ldots,\xi_{ln})\) in the case where \(G\) is a bounded, Holder continuous function, and \(\{\xi_n\}\) is a Markov chain with transition operator the dual of the Koopman operator corresponding to a Young tower with exponential tails. A local central limit theorem is also established for sums of the form \(\sum_{n=1}^NG(X_{q_1(n)},\ldots,X_{q_l(n)})\), where \(G\) is a Holder continuous function, \(\{X_n\}\) mixes sufficiently quickly, and the \(q_i\) have a particular form of nonlinear growth. Several related results and applications are also discussed.
