Scientific paper

In this paper, we consider approximating expansions for the distribution of integer valued random variables, in circumstances in which convergence in law cannot be expected. The setting is one in which the simplest approximation to the $n$'th random variable $X_n$ is by a particular member $R_n$ of a given family of distributions, whose variance increases with $n$. The basic assumption is that the ratio of the characteristic function of $X_n$ and that of R_n$ converges to a limit in a prescribed fashion. Our results cover a number of classical examples in probability theory, combinatorics and number theory.
