We obtain a characterization of generalized Stieltjes functions of any order \lambda > 0 in terms of inequalities for their derivatives on (0,\infty). When \lambda=1, this provides a new and simple proof of a characterization of Stieltjes…
Monotonicity properties of the ratio $$ \log \frac{f(x+a_1)\cdots f(x+a_n)}{f(x+b_1)\cdots f(x+b_n)}, $$ where $f$ is an entire function are investigated. Earlier results for Euler's gamma function and other entire functions of genus 1 are…
We show that a large collection of special functions, in particular Nielsen's beta function, are generalized Stieltjes functions of order 2, and therefore logarithmically completely monotonic. This includes the Laplace transform of…
The function $G(x)=(1-\ln x /\ln(1+x))x\ln x$ has been considered by Alzer, Qi and Guo. We prove that $G'$ is completely monotonic by finding an integral representation of the holomorphic extension of $G$ to the cut plane. A main difficulty…
A class of Stieltjes functions of finite type is introduced. These satisfy Widder's conditions on the successive derivatives up to some finite order, and are not necessarily smooth. We show that such functions have a unique integral…
In this work we prove that if an entire function $f(z)$ is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer $k,m$ the real function…
Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is of type 1 if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…
The paper surveys the basic properties of generalized Stieltjes functions including some new ones. We introduce the notion of the exact Stieltjes order and give a criterion of exactness, simple sufficient conditions and some prototypical…
We provide a large class of functions $f$ that are bell-shaped: the $n$-th derivative of $f$ changes its sign exactly $n$ times. This class is described by means of Stieltjes-type representation of the logarithm of the Fourier transform of…
The paper constitutes the second part on the subject of finite part integration of the generalized Stieltjes transform $S_{\lambda}[f]=\int_0^{\infty} f(x) (\omega+x)^{-\lambda}\mathrm{d}x$ about $\omega = 0$ where now $\lambda$ is a…
In this work we develop a theory of Stieltjes-analytic functions. We first define the Stieltjes monomials and polynomials and we study them exhaustively. Then, we introduce the Stieltjes analytic functions locally, as an infinite series of…
In this note, we recall Kummer's Fourier series expansion of the 1-periodic function that coincides with the logarithm of the Gamma function on the unit interval $(0,1)$, and we use it to find closed forms for some numerical series related…
The nonlinear eigen-problem $ Ax+F(x)=\lambda x$ is studied where $A$ is an $n\times n$ irreducible Stieltjes matrix. Under certain conditions, this problem has a unique positive solution. We show that, starting from a multiple of the…
The connection between derivatives of $L(s,f)$ for periodic arithmetical functions $f$ at $s=1$ and generalized Stieltjes constants has been noted earlier. In this paper, we utilize this link to throw light on the arithmetic nature of…
We prove the conjecture stated in F. Qi and R. Agarwal, \textit{On complete monotonicity for several classes of functions related to ratios of gamma functions}, J. Inequal. Appl. (2019), 1-42, that the function $1/\arctan$ is…
We introduce the notion of Dunkl completely monotonic functions on $\left(-\sigma,\sigma\right), \sigma>0$. We establish a restrictive version of the analogue of Schoenberg's theorem in Dunkl setting.
In this work we prove that an entire function $f(z)$ has only negative zeros if and only if its order is strictly less $1$, its root sequence is real-part dominating and there exists an nonnegative integer $m$ the real function…
In our previous work we found sufficient conditions to be imposed on the parameters of the generalized hypergeometric function in order that it be completely monotonic or of Stieltjes class. In this paper we collect a number of consequences…
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…
We prove that the functions Phi(x)=[Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}(1+1/x)^x/x and log Phi(x) are Stieltjes transforms.
