β¦ Synopsis
We consider the first-order Edgeworth expansion for summands related to a homogeneous Markov chain. Certain inaccuracies in some earlier results by Nagaev are corrected and the expansion is obtained under relaxed conditions. An application of our result to the distribution of the mle of a transition probability in the countable state space case is also considered.

## Abstract Firstβorder phase transitions are modelled by a nonβhomogeneous, timeβdependent scalarβvalued order parameter or phase field. The time dependence of the order parameter is viewed as arising from a balance law of the structure order. The gross motion is disregarded and hence the body is
