Abstract:
We analyse the distribution of the number of solutions of a system of random linear
equations over $\mathit{GF}(q)$ in the set of vectors which have a given number
of nonzero coordinates and in some subsets of this set.
We deduce sufficient conditions for convergence of the distribution to
the Poisson law, as well as to some other limit distributions related to this law,
and to the standard normal law. Here we extend the results
which the author have proved earlier for the case $q=2$.
