Abstract

Consider a linear functional LL defined on the space D[s]\mathcal D[s] of Dirichlet polynomials with real coefficients and the set D+[s]\mathcal D_+[s] of non-negative elements in D[s].\mathcal D[s]. An analogue of the Riesz-Haviland theorem in this context asks: What are all D+[s]\mathcal D_+[s]-positive linear functionals L,L, which are moment functionals? Since the space D[s],\mathcal D[s], when considered as a subspace of C([0,),R),C([0, \infty), \mathbb R), fails to be an adapted space in the sense of Choquet, the general form of Riesz-Haviland theorem is not applicable in this situation. In an attempt to answer the forgoing question, we arrive at the notion of a moment sequence, which we call the Hausdorff log-moment sequence. Apart from an analogue of the Riesz-Haviland theorem, we show that any Hausdorff log-moment sequence is a linear combination of {1,0,,}\{1, 0, \ldots, \} and {f(log(n)}n1\{f(\log(n)\}_{n \geqslant 1} for a completely monotone function f:[0,)[0,).f : [0, \infty) \rightarrow [0, \infty). Moreover, such an ff is uniquely determined by the sequence in question.
