Abstract


Let   n X ,n 1 be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with a common distribution function F with

decreasing and continuous on [0,1] with f(1) 1. Let   k n be an integer sequence such

a density version of a local limit theorem when distribution function F belongs to the domain
of partial attraction of a semistable law.
