Abstract: The paper contains the mathematical analysis of the so-called Benford's Empirical Law, closely related to the famous Weil's theorem about uniform distribution on [0,1] of the sequence of the fractional parts x n = {nα},α is an irrational number, and Poincare theorem about convolutions of the measures on the group S 1 = [0, 1)mod 1. We prove that the Weil's theorem is "robust" in appropriate sense and generalize the Poincare theorem for the class of dependent random variables.
