Lindeberg condition's counterexample (central limit theorem)

689 Views Asked by At

My aim is to find an example where the CLT is true but not the following (equivalent to Lindeberg's) condition:

Find a sequence of independent $(X_k)\sim\mathcal{N}\left(0,\sigma^2_k\right)$, so that they respect the central limit theorem but:

$\displaystyle\lim_{n \to +\infty}\frac{\max_{1\leqslant k\leqslant n}\sigma^2_k}{\sum_1^n\sigma^2_k}\ne0$

My first try is to take $\sigma^2_k=\displaystyle\frac{1}{k^2}$ so that

$\max_k\sigma^2_k=1$ and $\displaystyle s^2_n=\sum_1^n\frac{1}{k^2}\to L<+\infty$.

But what if I had $s^2_n\to\infty$?
