Abstract: In Steutel and van Ham (1979) a discrete analogue of stable random variables was introduced. In the present note we consider some explicit and asymptotic formulae for the probabilities of discrete stable random variables and give rates for the convergence of sequences of certain discrete stable random variables to a stable one.
