On convergence of random walks generated by compound Cox processes to Lévy processes

A functional limit theorem is proved establishing weak convergence of random walks generated by compound doubly stochastic Poisson processes to Lévy processes in the Skorokhod space. As corollaries, theorems are proved on convergence of random walks with jumps having finite variances to Lévy processes with mixed normal distributions, and in particular, to stable Lévy processes.
