SummaryGnedenko's classical work [1] on the limit of the distribution of the maximum of a sequence of independent random variables is extended to the distribution of the maximum of a sequence of random variables defined on a finite Markov chain.

Let Gn (x) be the distribution function of the maximum of the successive partial sums of independent and identically distributed random variables and G(x) its limiting distribution function. Under conditions, typical for complete exponential convergence, the decay of Gn (x) — G(x) is asymptotically equal to c.H(x)n −3/2 γn as n → ∞ where c and γ are known constants and H(x) is a function solely depending on x.

Let {X( s , t), s = (s 1, s 2) ∈ ℝ2, t ∈ ℝ} be a stationary random field defined over a discrete lattice. In this paper, we consider a set of domain of attraction criteria giving the notion of extremal index for random fields. Together with the extremal-types theorem given by Leadbetter and Rootzen (1997), this will give a characterization of the limiting distribution of the maximum of such random fields.
