A random variable $X$ is C-decomposable if $X =_D cX + Y_c$
for all $c$ in $C$, where $_c$ is a random variable independent of $X$ and $C$
is a closed multiplicative subsemigroup of [0, 1]. $X$ is
self-decomposable if $C = [0, 1]$ . Extending an idea of Urbanik in the
self-decomposable case, we define a decreasing sequence of subclasses of the
class of $C$-decomposable laws, for any $C$. We give a structural
representation for laws in these classes, and we show that laws in the limiting
subclass are infinitely divisible. We also construct noninfinitely divisible
examples, some of which are continuous singular.
