An Extended Limit Theorem for Correlated Lognormal Sums

Recent work has reported a lognormal limit theorem for sums of identically distributed equicorrelated lognormal random variables. An extended lognormal limit theorem for sums of nonidentically distributed correlated lognormal random variables having a particular correlation structure is derived.
