We find conditions which guarantee moment (in)determinacy of powers and products of nonnegative random variables. We establish new and general results which are based either on the rate of growth of the moments of a random variable or on…

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…

In this manuscript, we present the complete monotonicity of functions defined in terms of the poly-double gamma function \begin{align*} \psi_2^{(n)}(x) = (-1)^{n+1} n! \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{(1+k)}{(x+k)^{n+1}}, \quad x > 0, \ n\geq 2.…
We obtain a complete characterization of planar monotone $\sigma$-continuous valuations taking integer values, without assuming invariance under any group of transformations. We further investigate the consequences of dropping monotonicity…
A production function $f$ is called quasi-sum if there are strict monotone functions $F, h_1,...,h_n$ with $F'>0$ such that $$f(x)= F(h_1 (x_1)+...+h_n (x_n)).$$ The justification for studying quasi-sum production functions is that these…
In this note we study the monotonicity of the function $x\mapsto \psi(1 +bx)^a/\psi(1 + ax)^b$. We also give the several inequalities involving the psi function, whic is the logarithmic derivative of the gamma 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…

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…
