Abstract: In this paper we consider the relation between random sums and compositions of different processes. In particular, for independent Poisson processes $N_{a}lpha(t)$, $$, $t>0$, we show that $$, where the $X_j$s are Poisson random variables. We present a series of similar cases, the most general of which is the one in which the outer process is Poisson and the inner one is a nonlinear fractional birth process. We highlight generalisations of these results where the external process is infinitely divisible. A section of the paper concerns compositions of the form $N_{a}lpha(a{u}_k^u)$, $uin(0,1]$, where $a{u}_k^u$ is the inverse of the fractional Poisson process, and we show how these compositions can be represented as random sums. Furthermore we study compositions of the form $Theta(N(t))$, $t>0$, which can be represented as random products. The last section is devoted to studying continued fractions of Cauchy random variables with a Poisson number of levels. We evaluate the exact distribution and derive the scale parameter in terms of ratios of Fibonacci numbers.
