Characterization of operator-semistable distributions. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 0667.60021
The author considers symmetric characteristic functions of non-degenerate random vectors satisfying a functional equation $\ln f(y)=\int^{1}_{0}\ln f(c^ By)\kappa (dc),\quad y\in R^ d,$ where $$\kappa$$ is a finite Borel measure on (0,1], B is a linear operator in $$R^ d$$, whose eigenvalues have positive real parts and $$c^ B=\exp (B \ln c)$$. Using the methods of R. Shimizu [Sankhyā, Ser. A 40, 319-322 (1978; Zbl 0422.62013)], it is shown, that such characteristic functions are operator-semistable, with an exponent $$B^*/\alpha$$, where $$\alpha$$ is the unique solution of the equation $$\int c^{\alpha}\kappa (dc)=1.$$
An application to the characterization of the operator-stable and operator-semistable distributions through the identical distribution of a monomial and a linear statistic is also given.
