Abstract

In this paper it is proved that there exists a sequence {n k } of integers with 1 ≤ n k+1 − n k ≤ 5 such that the distribution of \({(\cos 2\pi n_1 x + \dots + \cos 2\pi n_{N}) / \sqrt N}\) on ([ 0, 1 ], B, dx) converges to a Gaussian distribution. It gives an affirmative answer to the long standing problem on lacunary trigonometric series which ask the existence of series with bounded gaps satisfying a central limit theorem.
