Abstract

In this article we investigate the property of complete monotonicity within a special family Fs\mathcal{F}_s of functions in ss variables involving logarithms. The main result of this work provides a linear isomorphism between Fs\mathcal{F}_s and the space of real multivariate polynomials. This isomorphism identifies the cone of completely monotone functions with the cone of non-negative polynomials. We conclude that the cone of completely monotone functions in Fs\mathcal{F}_s is semi-algebraic. This gives a finite time algorithm to decide whether a function in Fs\mathcal{F}_s is completely monotone
