Uniform distribution and sum modulo m of independent random variables

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1993, vol. 18, issue 4, 313-314

Abstract: If one of two independent random variables (possibly both) is uniformly distributed, then so is their sum modulo m; we show that the converse is true if m is a prime number and the relevant probabilities are rational numbers.
