On the number of solutions of a system of random linear equations in a set of vectors of special form
We analyse the distribution of the number of solutions of a system of random linear
equations over 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 has proved earlier for the case q = 2.
