Let Xl,X2,X3, … be a sequence of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables which belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law of index α≠1. That is,

where

and

where L(n) is a function of slow variation; also take S0=0, B0=l.

In §2, we are concerned with the weak convergence of the partial sum process to a stable process and the question of centering for stable laws and drift for stable processes.
