Let (An)n∈ℕ be a stationary sequence of topical (i.e., isotone and additively homogeneous) operators. Let x(n, x0) be defined by x(0, x0)=x0 and x(n+1, x0)=Anx(n, x0). It can model a wide range of systems including train or queuing networks, job-shop, timed digital circuits or parallel processing systems. ¶ When (An)n∈ℕ has the memory loss property, (x(n, x0))n∈ℕ satisfies a strong law of large numbers. We show that it also satisfies the CLT if (An)n∈ℕ fulfills the same mixing and integrability assumptions that ensure the CLT for a sum of real variables in the results by P. Billingsley and I. Ibragimov.
