The uniqueness theorem for moment-generating functions states that if and are finite and equal on an open real interval containing zero, then
For the convergence theorem for moment-generating functions, suppose that the moment-generating functions are finite on a common open real interval , , and for every , where is finite there. Then
One may equivalently assume convergence to a finite function on that interval: the theorem then asserts existence of a unique limiting probability distribution with moment-generating function as well as convergence in distribution.
