Limit theorems for numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays

Abstract

The paper extends the investigations of limit theorems for numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays, defined by a bivariate linear recurrence with bivariate linear coefficients. We obtain the partial differential equation and special analytical expressions for the numbers using a semi-exponential generating function. We apply the results to prove the asymptotic normality of special classes of the numbers and specify the convergence rate to the limiting distribution. We demonstrate that the limiting distribution is not always Gaussian.
