Abstract

In this work we prove that if an entire function f(z)f(z) is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer k,mk,m the real function (1x)mdkdxk(xk+mdmdxm(f(x)f(x)))\left(-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{m}\frac{d^{k}}{dx^{k}}\left(x^{k+m}\frac{d^{m}}{dx^{m}}\left(\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\right)\right) is completely monotonic on (0,)(0,\infty). Applications to Askey-Wilson polynomials, Bessel functions, Ramanujan's entire function, Riemann-xi function and character Riemann-xi functions are also provided.
