The condition for existence and finiteness of $Z$ is given and then the law $\\mathcal L(Z)$ of $Z$ is considered. Some sufficient conditions for $\\mathcal L(Z)$ to be selfdecomposable and some sufficient conditions for $\\mathcal L(Z)$ to be non-selfdecomposable but semi-selfdecomposable are given. Attention is paid to the case where $d=1$, $\\{X_t\\}$ is a Poisson process, and $\\{X_t\\}$ and $\\{Y_t\\}$ are independent. An example of $Z$ of type $G$ with selfdecomposable mixing distribution is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-06-04T07:12:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60E07", "60G51", "60H05" ], "keywords": [ "exponential integrals", "lévy processes", "properties", "sufficient conditions", "improper stochastic integral" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......6084K" } } }
