Characterizations of the geometric distribution via residual lifetime (Q1706460)

The authors propose some characterizations of the geometric distribution. The first part of the manuscript is devoted to characterizations based on the moments of truncated life of the form \(E((X-t)_+^n)\), where \((X-t)_+\) is a type of residual life defined as \((X-t)_+=\max\{X-t,0\}\). In the second part of the manuscript, characterizations of the geometric renewal process are presented.
