I want to know why and how Levy distribution equation was obtained. What characteristics does it have that makes it necessary or useful?

    A distribution is neither provable nor unprovable, it just is. You seem to have a specific context in mind, the one in which YOU encountered these distributions. If so, state it.2012-12-08

    @did Oops. I wasn't asking whether distribution is provable - it's not a theorem. My question is, for what purpose is this distribution made?2012-12-08
