Let Xl, …, Xn be independent random variables with the same distribution function (df) F(x) and let Xln≤X2n≤…≤nr be the corresponding order statistics. The (df) of Xkn will be denoted always by Fkn(x). Many authors have investigated the asymptotic behaviour of the maximal term Xnn as n → ∞. Gnedenko [3] proved the following
