In this paper we will prove a functional central limit theorem (CLT) for random functions of the form
$ {\mathcal S}_N(t) = N^{-\frac12}\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{[Nt]} F(\xi_{q_1(n, N)}, \xi_{q_2(n, N)}, ..., \xi_{q_\ell(n, N)}) $
where the
$ q_i $
's are certain type of bivariate polynomials,
$ F = F(x_1, ..., x_\ell) $
 is a locally Hölder continuous function and the sequence of random variables
$ \{\xi_n\} $
 satisfies some mixing and moment conditions. This paper continues the line of research started in [15] and [17], and it is a generalization of the results in [9] and Chapter 3 of [11]. We will also prove a strong law of large numbers (SLLN) for the averages
$ N^{-\frac12} {\mathcal S}_N(1) $
 which extends the results from the beginning of Chapter 3 of [11] to general bivariate polynomial functions
$ q_i $
. Our results hold true for sequences
$ \{\xi_n\} $
 generated by a wide class of Markov chains and dynamical systems. As an application we obtain functional CLT's for expressions of the form
$ N^{-\frac12}M([Nt]) $
, where
$ M(N) $
 counts the number of multiple recurrence of the sequence
$ \{\xi_n\} $
 to certain sets
$ A_1, ..., A_\ell $
 which occur at the times
$ q_1(n, N), ..., q_\ell(n, N) $
, as well as SLLN's for these
$ M(N) $
's. One of the simplest examples is when
$ \xi_n $
 is
$ n $
-the digit of a random
$ m $
-base or continued fraction expansion, and each
$ A_i $
 is singleton (i.e. it represent one possible value of a digit).
Keywords: Functional central limit theorems, nonconventional setup, ergodic theorems, Stein's method, Markov chains, dynamical systems.
