On an uniqueness theorem for characteristic functions
Santrauka
Suppose that f is the characteristic function of a probability measure on the real line R. We deal with the following open problem posed by N.G. Ushakov: Is it true that f is never determined by its imaginary part =f? In other words, is it true that for any characteristic function f, there exists a characteristic function g such that =f = =g, but f 6= g? The answer to this question is no. We give a characterization of those characteristic functions, which are uniquely determined by their imaginary parts. Also, several examples of characteristic functions, which are uniquely determined by their imaginary parts, are given.
