On Tempered Discrete and Lévy White Noises

Abstract

We study the growth properties of the family of i.i.d. random sequences, also known as discrete white noises, and of their continuous-domain generalization, the family of Lévy white noises. More precisely, we characterize the members of both families which are tempered in terms of their moment properties. We recover the characterization of tempered Lévy white noises obtained by Robert Dalang and Thomas Humeau and provide a new proof of there fundamental result. Our approach is based on a fruitful connection between the discrete and continuous-domain white noises.
