- Inference problem involving the distibutional equation  X + Y = XY.
- New criterion (Hardy) for moment uniqueness of a distribution.

- Related topics including open questions.
The material will be addressed to a wide audience: from graduate 
students in statistical and mathematical sciences, to professionals.
