Abstract
We deal with the equation , where the unknown is the distribution of , the variables in the right hand side are independent, the are equidistributed with , is an integer valued random variable, and the are equidistributed, nonnegative and of expectation~1. Usually a solution is obtained as the limit of a martingale. In some cases we give an explicit formula for the law of .
