Under an infinite second moment and the paper's lower support bound, the explicit norming sequence is nondecreasing for every 1 < θ ≤ 2. Its n = 0 values use the stated sInf/sSup conventions.

Remark after the strong local limit theorem: for infinite variance and θ = 2, h(n) = a_n/√n tends to ∞ and is nondecreasing, for the corrected norming a_n = √(n K(z_n)/2).
