Let $ f:(0,\infty)\rightarrow \Bbb{R} $ be a completely monotonic function. In this paper, we present some properties of this functions and several new classes of completely monotonic functions. We also give some special functions such that…
Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…
In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…
We prove that every completely monotone function defined on a right-unbounded open interval admits a Newton series expansion at every point of that interval. This result can be viewed as an analog of Bernstein's little theorem for…
We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…
A metric space (X,d) is monotone if there is a linear order < on X and a constant c>0 such that d(x,y) < c d(x,z) for all x<y<z in X. Properties of continuous functions with monotone graph (considered as a planar set) are investigated. It…
In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…
A real arithmetic function f is multiplicatively monotonous if f (mn) -- f (m) has constant sign for m, n positive integers. Properties and examples of such functions are discussed, with applications to positive hermitian…

We characterize of the $q$-Bernstein functions in terms of $q$-Laplace transform. Moreover, we present several results of $q$-completely monotonic, $q$-log completely monotonic and $q$-Bernstein functions.
A family of recently investigated Bernstein functions is revisited and those functions for which the derivatives are logarithmically completely monotonic are identified. This leads to the definition of a class of Bernstein functions, which…
We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…
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…
In this paper we give some conditions for a class of functions related to Bessel functions to be positive definite or strictly positive definite . We present some properties and relationships involving logarithmically completely monotonic…
In this article we investigate the property of complete monotonicity within a special family $\mathcal{F}_s$ of functions in $s$ variables involving logarithms. The main result of this work provides a linear isomorphism between…
This work has a purpose to collect selected facts about the completely monotone (CM) functions that can be found in books and papers devoted to different areas of mathematics. We opted for lesser known ones, and for those which may help…
In the paper, the authors concisely survey and review some functions involving the gamma function and its various ratios, simply state their logarithmically complete monotonicity and related results, and find necessary and sufficient…
We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of a quotient of two products of gamma functions, where the argument of each gamma function has different scaling factor. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms…
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…
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…
