Abstract

We study the fixed point for a non-linear transformation in the set of Hausdorff moment sequences, defined by the formula: T((an))n=1/(a0+...+an)T((a_n))_n=1/(a_0+... +a_n). We determine the corresponding measure μ\mu, which has an increasing and convex density on ]0,1[]0,1[, and we study some analytic functions related to it. The Mellin transform FF of μ\mu extends to a meromorphic function in the whole complex plane. It can be characterized in analogy with the Gamma function as the unique log-convex function on ]1,[]-1,\infty[ satisfying F(0)=1F(0)=1 and the functional equation 1/F(s)=1/F(s+1)F(s+1),s>11/F(s)=1/F(s+1)-F(s+1), s>-1.
