Abstract

Let Φ(X) be a measurable complex function on R;X, Y, Z be i.i.d. random variables; and φ{symbol}(t, u, v)=EΦ(tX+uY+nZ), where t, u, v∈R. In this paper we describe a class of function Φ(x) such that the distribution of X, Y, Z is determined by the funetion φ{symbol}(t, u, v). The main result is a generalization of the author's characterization of normal and stable distributions.
