Processes with independent increments are proven to be the unique solutions of duality formulas. This result is based on a simple characterization of infinitely divisible random vectors by a functional equation in which a difference operator appears. This operator is constructed by a variational method and compared to approaches involving chaos decompositions. We also obtain a related characterization of infinitely divisible random measures.
