Abstract

In this paper, we find and develop a stochastic integral representation for the class of strictly stable distributions. We establish an explicit relationship between stochastic integral and shot-noise series representations of strictly stable distributions, which shows that the class of distributions representable by stochastic integral is larger than the class representable by a shot-noise series. This inclusion is proper when the stability index \(\alpha \) is greater than 1. We also give an explicit description of distributions possessing both representations.
