Abstract:
A probabilistic characterization is given for Schneider?s generalized stable laws. They belong to the larger family of laws which are invariant under length-biasing followed by a random beta scaling. Questions of infinite divisibility and self-decomposability are pursued. Moment determinacy of reciprocal generalized stable laws are investigated.
