✦ Synopsis


We show that a non-trivial continuous-time strictly -stable, ∈ (0; 2), stationary process cannot be represented in distribution as a discrete linear process

where {f t } t∈R is a collection of deterministic functions and { n } n∈Z are independent strictly -stable random variables. Analogous results hold for self-similar strictly -stable processes and for strictly -stable processes with stationary increments. As a consequence, the usual wavelet decomposition of Gaussian self-similar processes cannot be extended to the -stable, ¡ 2 case.
