The normal distribution is well-known for several results that it is the only to fulfil. The aim of the present paper is to show that many of these characterizations actually follow from the fact that the derivative of the log-density of…

The central limit theorem ensures that a sum of random variables tends to a Gaussian distribution as their total number tends to infinity. However, for a class of positive random variables, we find that the sum tends faster to a log-normal…
