Abstract

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a distribution function in ℝ2 to be max-infinitely divisible. The d.f. F is max i.d. if Ft is a d.f. for every t > 0. This property is essential in defining multivariate extremal processes and arises in an approach to the study of the range of an i.i.d. sample.
