Abstract

A trivariate equality of laws given by Doney and Yor is extended to a quadrivariate version. Some related explicit density calculations are carried out. It is shown that a bivariate case which has been used to establish the Dassios–Port–Wendel equality of laws is in fact equivalent to it.
