2 L A KHACHATRYAN AND B S NAHAPTIAN As a consequence, we also obtain a generalization and sharpening of nown results on the CLT for weighted sums linear functionals) of independent random variables Section 3) 1 Functionals preserving the normal distribution Denote by f n f n x 1, x,, x n ) a real valued functional defined in R n, n We say that the functional f n preserves the normal distribution, if for random variables ξ 1, ξ,, ξ n which are independent and standard normally distributed, the random variable f n ξ 1, ξ,, ξ n ) has the standard normal distribution N 0, 1) too Here are several simple examples of functionals preserving the normal distribution see, for instance, [8] and [1]) xample 1 f x 1, x ) x 1 + x xample f x 1, x ) x1 x x 1 + x xample 3 f 3 x 1, x, x 3 ) x 1x + x x 1 It is obvious that any superposition of functionals preserving the normal distribution is again a functional which preserves the normal distribution This observation gives us an approach to the construction sequences f n, n, of such functionals For instance, xample 1 gives rise to the following sequence of functionals preserving the normal distribution f n x 1, x,, x n ) f x 1, f n 1 x,, x n )) x 1 + x ) + x 3 ) + + x n 3 ) + x n 1 + x n n, n > ) n 1 If we consider the functional ˆf x 1, x ) x 1x x 1 + x similar to the one in the xample, we obtain a sequence ˆf n x 1, x,, x n ) ˆf x 1, ˆf n 1 x,, x n )) x x i 1in : i, n >,

6 6 L A KHACHATRYAN AND B S NAHAPTIAN Below we prove a general result, from which, particularly, one can see that considered functionals preserve the normal distribution The main class of non linear functionals considered in the paper is defined as follows Let x), 1, n, x R, be a set of non zero functions, and put f n+1 x 0, x 1, x,, x n ) f x 0 n x 1, x,, x n ) x 0 )x 4) In the next theorem, a condition for such functional to preserve the normal distribution is introduced Theorem 1 The functional 4) preserves the normal distribution if z)) 1 for any z R 5) Proof Let random variables ξ 0, ξ 1, ξ,, ξ n be independent and standard normally distributed We will show that ) 1 ) ξ 0 )ξ 0, ξ 0 )ξ )!, 1,,! Since the normal distribution is uniquely determined by its moments, from here it will follow that ξ 0 )ξ N 0, 1) First consider odd moments Taing into account the independence of ξ 0, ξ 1, ξ,, ξ n, we can write ) 1 ξ 0 )ξ 0m 1,m,,m n 1: m 1 +m ++m n 1 0m 1,,m n 1: m 1 ++m n 1 1)! m 1!m! m n! 1)! m 1!m! m n! ξ m i i ) mi i ξ 0 ) ξ m i i n ) ) mi i ξ 0 ) It remains to note that since m 1 + m + + m n 1, for any numbers 0 m 1,, m n 1 there exists i, 1 i n, such that m i is odd, and hence ξ m i i 0

It remains to note that due to the condition 5), for any ) ) mi i ξ 0 ) i ξ 0 )) ) 1 It is not difficult to see that in the proof of the theorem above we do not use any condition on the distribution of ξ 0 Hence the result of the previous theorem can be generalized in the following form Theorem Let ζ, ξ 1, ξ,, ξ n be independent random variables, and let ξ N 0, 1), 1, n The random variable f ζ nξ 1, ξ,, ξ n ) i ζ)ξ i
