Abstract

In this paper we study the problem of convergence in the weak and the vague topology of the sequence

$$\left( {\mathop \Sigma \limits_{i = 1}^\infty \mathop \Sigma \limits_{j = 1}^\infty a_{ij}^{(n)} \mu ^i *v^j ,n \in \mathbb{N}} \right)$$

where μ and ν are probability measures on locally compact commutative semigroupS andA n =[a (n) ij (i, j, n ɛ N) are double stochastic matrices satisfying some additional conditions. Our results generalize the results in [9]. Theorem 1 also holds if we make some changes on the topological assumptions onS, i.e. if we suppose thatS is a polish space.
