Kagan and Shalaevski (1967) have shown that if the random variables X1,…,Xn are i.i.d. and the distribution of 46ed9797b1d0f97" title="Click to view the MathML source">ai∈R depends only on , then each Xi∼N(0,σ). In this paper, we will give other characterizations of the normal distribution which are formulated in a similar spirit.
