Abstract

The Sibuya distribution plays an important role in considering several discrete self-decomposable distributions. Here we will consider several properties of the Sibuya distribution. The main results will concern the discrete self-decomposability and infinite divisibility of the scaled Sibuya distribution in dependence of the scale parameter.
