Abstract
A functional central limit theorem for a local square integrable marti ngale with persistent discontinuities is given. By persistent disconti nuities, it is meant that the martingale has jumps which do not vanish asymptotically, This central limit theorem is motivated by problems i n the analysis of longitudinal and life history data.
