Abstract

In this paper, a stochastic integral of Ornstein--Uhlenbeck type is represented to be the sum of two independent random variables: one has a tempered stable distribution and the other has a compound Poisson distribution. In distribution, the compound Poisson random variable is equal to the sum of a Poisson-distributed number of positive random variables, which are independent and identically distributed and have a common specified density function. Based on the representation of the stochastic integral, we prove that the transition distribution of the tempered stable Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process is self-decomposable and that the transition density is a C-function.
