Abstract This paper deals with an inequality for characteristic functions. This inequality (see (3) below) founds connection between “measure of almost normality” and characteristic functions. Also an analysis of accuracy in the local limit theorem and connection between the central limit and local limit theorem are given. Keywords Characteristic functions • Limit theorems • Central limit theorem • Local limit theorem

A good deal of probability theory consists of the study of limit theorems, because “in reality the epistemological value of the theory of probability is revealed only by limit theorems” (see [4]). Important part of this area consists of the upper estimation of the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem. It is quite reasonable turn to the construction of the lower estimates. Unfortunately, many mathematicians working in the field of theory of limit theorems pay less attention to such a kind of problems. This paper focuses around one inequality for characteristic function. It should be noted that this one don’t demands from limit theorems. Taking account of this notion at first we introduce following
