Abstract Matrix variate generalizations of Pareto distributions are proposed. Several properties of these distributions including cumulative distribution functions, characteristic functions and relationship to matrix variate beta type I and matrix variate type II distributions are studied.

Characteristic Functions

Fourier transforms of distribution functions are frequently studied in the theory of probability. In this connection they are called characteristic functions of probability distributions. It is often of interest to decide whether a given function φ(t) can be the characteristic function of a probability distribution, that is, whether it admits the representation

An approach to modelling radial distribution functions (RDFs) of nanoparticle samples over a wide range of interatomic distances is presented. Two different types of contribution to the model RDF are calculated. The first explicitly reflects the structure of the nanoparticle parts with more or less crystalline atomic structure. It can be calculated precisely and contains comparatively sharp peaks, which are produced by the set of discrete interatomic distances. The second includes RDF contributions from distances between weakly correlated atoms positioned within different nanoparticles or within different parts of a nanoparticle model. The calculation is performed using the approximation of a uniform distribution of atoms and utilizes the ideas of the characteristic functions of the particle shape known in small-angle scattering theory. This second RDF contribution is represented by slowly varying functions of interatomic distancer. The relative magnitude of this essential part of the model RDF increases with increasingrcompared with the part that represents the ordered structure. The method is applied to test several spherical and core/shell models of semiconductor nanoparticles stabilized with organic ligands. The experimental RDFs of ZnSe and CdSe/ZnS nanoparticle samples were obtained by high-energy X-ray diffraction at beamline BW5, HASYLAB, DESY. The ZnSe nanoparticles have a spherical core with approximately 26 Å diameter and zincblende structure. The RDF of the CdSe/ZnS nanoparticle sample shows resolved peaks of the first- and the second-neighbour distances characteristic for CdSe (2.62 and 4.27 Å) and for ZnS (2.33 and 3.86 Å) and for the first time clearly confirms the presence of CdSe and ZnS nanophases in such objects. The diameters of the CdSe and ZnS spherical cores are estimated as 27 and 15 Å. CdSe and ZnS are present in the sample for the most part as independent nanoparticles. A smaller amount of ZnS forms an irregularly shaped shell around the CdSe cores, which consists of small independently oriented ZnS particles.

Compactness Theorems

We consider a class of discrete distribution functions, whose characteristic functions are separated from zero, i. e. their absolute values are greater than positive constant on the real line. The class is rather wide, because it contains discrete infinitely divisible distribution functions, functions of lattice distributions, whose characteristic functions have no zeroes on the real line, and also distribution functions with a jump greater than 1/2. Recently the authors showed that characteristic functions of elements of this class admit the Lévy-Khinchine type representations with non-monotonic spectral function. Thus our class is included in the set of so called quasi-infinitely divisible distribution functions. Using these representation the authors also obtained limit and compactness theorems with convergence in variation for the sequences from this class. This note is devoted to similar results concerning convergence and compactness but with weakened convergence in variation. Replacing of type of convergence notably expands applicability of the results.
