Sums of independent poisson subordinators and their connection with strictly α-stable processes of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type

Abstract

We describe a construction in which the discrete time of a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables changes with the Poisson time. The Poisson time is independent of this sequence. The defined process with continuous time is called a random index process. We establish several properties of random index processes. We study asymptotics of sums of independent, identically distributed random index processes in the case where elements of the initial sequence have strictly α-stable distribution. By calculating characteristic functions we establish relationships of these sums with strictly α-stable processes of the Ornstein- Uhlenbeck type. Bibliography: 4 titles.
