A note on the gaps in the support of discretely infinitely divisible laws. (English) Zbl 1302.60036

Summary: We discuss the nature of gaps in the support of a discretely infinitely divisible distribution from the angle of compound Poisson laws/processes. The discussion is extended to infinitely divisible distributions on the nonnegative real line.
