Let F(x) be an infinitely divisible distribution and let ϕ(t) be its characteristic function. As is well known according to the formula of Lévy and Khintchine, ϕ(t) has the following representation:1where γ is a real constant and G(u) is a bounded nondecreasing function.

The log-returns of most financial data show a significant leptokurtosis. For the better fit we showed a special levy process which is called the Meixner process. The Meixner distribution belongs to the class of infinitely divisible distribution chracterized by using characteristic function and it was proposed as a model for represented efficiently of the log-returns of financial data. The perfect fit of underlying Meixner distribution performing by using goodness of fit test.

We discuss the nature of gaps in the support of a discretely infinitely divisible distribution from the angle of compound Poisson laws/processes. The discussion is extended to infinitely divisible distributions on the nonnegative real line.

We study two-faced families of non-commutative random variables having bi-free (additive) infinitely divisible distributions. We prove a limit theorem of the sums of bi-free two-faced families of random variables within a triangular array. As a corollary of our limit theorem, we get Voiculescu’s bi-free central limit theorem. Using the full Fock space operator model, we show that a two-faced pair of random variables has a bi-free (additive) infinitely divisible distribution if and only if its distribution is the limit distribution in our limit theorem. Finally, we characterize the bi-free (additive) infinite divisibility of the distribution of a two-faced pair of random variables in terms of bi-free Levy processes.

SupposeS={{Xnj,   j=1,2,…,kn}}is an infinitesimal system of random variables whose centered sums converge in law to a (necessarily infinitely divisible) distribution with Levy representation determined by the triple(γ,σ2,M). If{Yj,   j=1,2,…}are independent indentically distributed random variables independent ofS, then the systemS′={{YjXnj,j=1,2,…,kn}}is obtained by randomizing the scale parameters inSaccording to the distribution ofY1. We give sufficient conditions on the distribution ofYin terms of an index of convergence ofS, to insure that centered sums fromS′be convergent. If such sums converge to a distribution determined by(γ′,(σ′)2,Λ), then the exact relationship between(γ,σ2,M)and(γ′,(σ′)2,Λ)is established. Also investigated is when limit distributions fromSandS′are of the same type, and conditions insuring products of random variables belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law.
