E. Lepage et M. Peigne, A LOCAL LIMIT-THEOREM ON THE SEMIDIRECT PRODUCT OF R-ASTERISK(+) AND R(D), Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilites et statistiques, 33(2), 1997, pp. 223-252
Let G be the semi-direct product of R(+) and R(d) and mu a probabilit
y measure on G. Let mu(n) be the nth power of convolution of mu. Unde
r quite general assumptions on mu, one proves that there exists rho is
an element of ]0, 1] such that the sequence of Radon measures (n(3/2)
/rho(n) mu(n)) n greater than or equal to 1 converges weakly to a non
-degenerate measure; furthermore, if mu(2)(n) is the marginal of mu(*
n) on R(d), the sequence of Radon measures (root n/rho(n) mu(2)(n)) n
greater than or equal to 1 converges weakly to a non-degenerate measu
