The characteristic functions of various functions of a real or vector random variable are expressed in terms of the characteristic function of that variable. In the examples there is special emphasis on the stable distributions that have real characteristic functions. Some of the results suggest the practicability of generalizing traditional multivariate analysis beyond the multi-Gaussian model.

AbstractThe explicit form for the characteristic function of a stable distribution on the line is derived analytically by solving the associated functional equation and applying the theory of regular variation, without appeal to the general Lévy‒Khintchine integral representation of infinitely divisible distributions.

Characterization problems in probability are studied here. Using the characteristic function of an additive convolution we generalize some known characterizations of the normal distribution to stable distributions. More precisely, if a distribution of a linear form depends only on the sum of powers of the certain parameters, then we obtain symmetric stable distributions.
