Abstract

Let {ξn, n ≧1} be a sequence of independent real random variables, F denote the common distribution function of identically distributed random variables ξn, n ≧1 and let ξ1 have an arbitrary distribution. Define Xn+1 = k max(Xn, ξ n+1), Yn+ 1 = max(Yn, ξ n+1) – c, Un+1 = l min(Un, ξ n+1), Vn+1 = min(Vn, ξ n+1) + c, n ≧ 1, 0 < k < 1, l > 1, 0 < c < ∞, and X1 = Υ1= U1 = V1 = ξ1. We establish conditions under which the limit law of max(X1, · ··, Xn) coincides with that of max(ξ2, · ··, ξ n+1) when both are appropriately normed. A similar exercise is carried out for the extreme statistics max(Y1, · ··, Yn), min(U1,· ··, Un) and min(V1, · ··, Vn).
