Let λ > 1 be a real eigenvalue of an automorphism of the two dimensional torus. We prove that for a dense, open subset of intervals the sequence where {x} denotes the fractional part of x and χ[a, b] the characteristic function of [a, b], satisfies the local limit theorem with respect to Lebesgue measure on [0, 1].
