Аннотация:Random sums are very popular in many applied problems. Very often it is assumed that the summation index has a geometric distribution and the summands are independent and identically distributed. We consider a new model in which the summands have distributions belonging to some finite set and are chosen randomly according to some multivariate Bernoulli distribution (see [1]). The limit distributions in such a model have some special form, which we called (by analogy with geometric stable distributions (see [2])) Bernoulli-geometric stable distributions. We introduce a more general definition of the multivariate Linnik distribution and find a connection between this distribution and the multivariate stable, Mittag-Leffler and Weibull distributions. We prove some characterization problem and consider several applications this model in actuarial mathematics and teletraffic theory.
