As is well known, the fundamental ideas of P. Laplace [1] and P.L. Chebyshev [2] were subsequently developed in papers by A.A. Markov [3] and A.M. Lyapunov [4], culminating in a very general statement (the so-called Lyapunov theorem) on the limit of probability distributions for sums of a large number of small independent random variables. Further studies by Markov [5] and S.N. Bernshtein [6] have demonstrated that in many cases a similar statement also holds for sums of independent variables. These generalizations are of special importance for applied purposes, but in principle they do not go much further; in all cases studied by these authors only summands that are near to each other are strongly dependent, whereas if the sum is decomposed into sufficiently long partial sums, the later ones will be almost independent. Of much greater consequence is the two- (and multi-) dimensional generalization of Lyapunov’s theorem to the case of sums of random vectors, which was first rigorously proved by Bernshtein [6].
