Abstract

In this paper, a fixed point equation of the compound-exponential type distributions is derived, and under some regular conditions, both the existence and uniqueness of this fixed point equation are investigated. A question posed by Pitman and Yor can be partially answered by using our approach.
Keywords: fixed point equation, compound-exponential type distributions fixed point equation, compound-exponential type distributions
