S ep 2 00 2 New explicit examples of fixed points of Poisson shot noise transforms

We show that gamma distributions, generalized positive Linnik distributions, S2 distributions are fixed points of Poisson shot noise transforms. The corresponding response functions are identified via their inverse functions except for some special cases when those can be obtained explicitly. As a by-product, it is proven that log-convexity of the response function is not necessary for selfdecomposability of non-negative Poisson shot noise distribution. Some attention is given to perpetuities of a rather special type which are closely related to our model. In particular, we study the problem of their existence and uniqueness.
