This allows us to give a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the L\\'evy measure for the exponential functional to be multiplicative infinitely divisible. We then provide a formula for the moment generating function of an exponential functional $I$ and the so called remainder random variable $R$ associated to it. We provide a realization of the remainder random variable $R$ as an infinite product involving independent last position random variables of the subordinator. Some properties of harmonic measures are obtained and some examples are provided.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-18T09:06:26.000Z", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-11-18T12:41:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G51", "60E10", "60E07" ], "keywords": [ "exponential functional", "subordinator", "undershoots", "remainder random variable", "position random variables" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.4955A" } } }
