Moment-sequence Transforms

چکیده
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 them, with possible discontinuities at the endpoints. Even more surprising is the fact that functions preserving moments of three point masses must preserve moments of all measures. Our proofs exploit the semidefiniteness of the associated Hankel matrices and the complete monotonicity of the Laplace transforms of the underlying measures. We also examine transformers in the multivariable setting, which reveals a new class of piecewise absolutely monotonic functions.

On powers of Stieltjes moment sequences, II
We consider the set of Stieltjes moment sequences, for which every positive power is again a Stieltjes moment sequence, we and prove an integral representation of the logarithm of the moment sequence in analogy to the Lévy-Khintchine representation. We use the result to construct product convolution semigroups with moments of all orders and to calculate their Mellin transforms. As an applicatio...
متن کاملToeplitz transforms of Fibonacci sequences
We introduce a matricial Toeplitz transform and prove that the Toeplitz transform of a second order recurrence sequence is another second order recurrence sequence. We investigate the injectivity of this transform and show how this distinguishes the Fibonacci sequence among other recurrence sequences. We then obtain new Fibonacci identities as an application of our transform.

Mean square estimates for Z 2 (s) = ∞ 1 |ζ(1 2 +ix)| 4 x −s dx (ℜe s > 1) are discussed, and some related Mellin transforms of quantities connected with the fourth power moment of |ζ(1 2 + ix)|.
متن کاملRotation Invariant Moments and Transforms for Robust Image Watermarking
Moments and transforms are the scalar quantities that characterise a function and capture its significant properties. More specifically, these are the descriptors that correspond to the projection of the function on a specific basis function, where the type or characteristic of the basis function gives the name to the moment or transform [82]. Normally, moments and transforms are treated separa...
متن کاملGeneral Eulerian Polynomials as Moments Using Exponential Riordan Arrays
Abstract Using the theory of exponential Riordan arrays and orthogonal polynomials, we demonstrate that the general Eulerian polynomials, as defined by Xiong, Tsao and Hall, are moment sequences for simple families of orthogonal polynomials, which we characterize in terms of their three-term recurrence. We obtain the generating functions of this polynomial sequence in terms of continued fractio...
