We consider the following question: if a function of the form $\int_0^{\infty}\varphi(t)\, e^{-xt}dt$ is completely monotonic, is it then $\varphi\ge0$? It turns out that the question is related to a moment problem. In the end we apply…
We prove a matrix trace inequality for completely monotone functions and for Bernstein functions. As special cases we obtain non-trivial trace inequalities for the power function x->x^q, which for certain values of q complement McCarthy's…

The psi function $\psi(x)$ is defined by $\psi(x)=\frac{\Gamma'(x)}{\Gamma(x)}$ and $\psi^{(i)}(x)$ for $i\in\mathbb{N}$ denote the polygamma functions, where $\Gamma(x)$ is the gamma function. In this paper we prove that a function…

We consider two operations on the Mittag-Leffler function which cancel the exponential term in the expansion at infinity, and generate a completely monotonic function. The first one is the action of a certain differential-difference…

In this note we prove a condition of monotonicity for the integral functional $ F(g) = \int_a^b h(x)\, d[-g(x)] $ with respect to $g$, a function of bounded variation. This condition is applied to analyze the behavior of a generalized…
We shall define the q-analogs of multiple zeta functions and multiple polylogarithms in this paper and study their properties, based on the work of Kaneko et al. and Schlesinger, respectively.
We derive new infinite series involving Fibonacci numbers and Riemann zeta numbers. The calculations are facilitated by evaluating linear combinations of polygamma functions of the same order at certain arguments.
