The stable density d_α (Stage 1, continued) #
Source lines 862–864 and the uses of d_α at lines 1029–1041, 1640–1647, 1987–1994.
The density of Y_α is defined by Fourier inversion of the (integrable) characteristic
function exp((-iθ)^α) from PoissonDeclumping.Stable.LimitLaw:
d_α(x) = (1/2π) Re ∫ exp((-iθ)^α) e^{-iθx} dθ.
We prove that d_α is bounded and Lipschitz (hence continuous and uniformly continuous),
and compute its value at zero, d_α(0) = Γ(1 + 1/α) sin(π/α) / π > 0, using the complex
Gamma integral of PoissonDeclumping.Stable.Analytic (this replaces the contour rotation).
The density d_α of the limit law Y_α, defined by Fourier inversion of its
characteristic function exp((-iθ)^α).
