MULTIVARIATE LARGE DEVIATIONS FOR SUMS OF I.I.D. RANDOM
VECTORS WITH COMPACTLY SUPPORTED DISTRIBUTION
Abstract: The sums of i.i.d. random vectors with compactly supported and absolutely
continuous distribution are considered. Under some conditions the strong form of the local
limit theorem for large deviations is proved. In passing the asymptotic behaviour of the
moment generating function as well as possible non-degenerate limit laws for the natural
exponential family of distributions are established.
