For $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $0 < \alpha_i,\beta_j,\lambda_{ij} \leq 1$ be such that $\sum_{j=1}^n \lambda_{ij} = \alpha_i$, $\sum_{i=1}^m \lambda_{ij} = \beta_j$, and $\sum_{i=1}^m \alpha_i = \sum_{j=1}^n \beta_j \leq 1$. We prove that the…
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…
Let $\psi_q(x)$, $\psi_q'(x)$, and $\psi_q''(x)$ for $q>0$ stand respectively for the $q$-digamma, $q$-trigamma, and $q$-tetragamma functions. In the paper, the author proves along two different approaches that the functions…
