On convergence to the poisson law for distributions of the sum of random variables connected into a chain

This paper deals with the triangular array of random variables where every sequence is connected into a stationary Markov chain. For the uniformly strongly mixing chain we find conditions under which the distributions of the sum converge to the Poisson law. A more general case of theL ^p-regular Markov chain is also considered. Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Akademijos 4, 2600 Vilnius, Lithuania.
