Let Bi, B 2 , ••• be a sequence of independent,_ identically distributed random variables, let X, be a random variable that is independent of B; for n ~ 1, let p be a constant such that 0 < p < 1 and let Xl' X 2 , ••• be another sequence of random variables that are defined recursively by the relationships X, = pXn l + B n • It can be shown that the sequence of random variables Xj, X 2 , ••• converges in law to a random variable X if and only if E[Iog+ IBll]<oo. In this paper we let {B(t): O~t<oo} be a stochastic process with independent, homogeneous increments and define another stochastic process {Xir): 0 ~ t ~ oo} that stands in the same relationship to the stochastic process {B(t): 0 ~ t < oo} as the sequence of random variables Xj, X 2 , ••• stands to Bj, B 2 , •••• It is shown that X(t) converges in law to a random variable X as t~ +00 if and only if E[Iog+ IB(1)\] < 00 in which case X has a distribution function of class L. Several other related results are obtained. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a discrete-time stochastic process to be embeddable in a continuous-time stochastic process.
