β¦ Synopsis
Let Y~ have a Linnik distribution, given by the characteristic function ~O(t)= (1 + [t]~) -t . We extend the result of Kotz and Ostrovskii (1996) and show that Y~ admits two different representations, where 0 < ~ < c~' ~< 2 and W has a "skewed" Cauchy distribution and is independent of a Linnik random variable Y~,. We then derive similar representations for Mittag-Leffler distribution. (~ Elsevier Science B.V. All fights reserved

This paper offers a simple proof based on random variable representations for a mixture representation of symmetric Linnik laws previously derived by purely analytic means. The new approach can be set in a much more general context which embraces the symmetric and the positive generalized Linnik law
