Random translations, contractions and dilations of order statistics and records. (English) Zbl 1241.62075

Summary: We introduce a new tool to investigate some distributional properties of order statistics and records related by a random translation (contraction or dilation) scheme. This technique is based on the property of uniqueness of solutions of certain nonlinear integral equations of Volterra type. We show how this tool is used to obtain new characterizations of distributions.
