Under some conditions, the probability measure corresponding to a characteristic function of that type has a density which can be expressed as a generalized Dirichlet series, which in turn is an infinite linear combination of exponential or Laplace densities. These results are applied to several examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-08T14:24:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "analytic characteristic functions", "laplace densities", "infinite convolutions", "exponential", "infinite linear combination" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.1543F" } } }
