On powers of Stieltjes moment sequences, II
نویسنده
چکیده
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 application we construct a positive generating function for the orthonormal Hermite polynomials.

On powers of Stieltjes moment sequences, I
For a Bernstein function f the sequence sn = f(1)·. . .·f(n) is a Stieltjes moment sequence with the property that all powers sn, c > 0 are again Stieltjes moment sequences. We prove that sn is Stieltjes determinate for c ≤ 2, but it can be indeterminate for c > 2 as is shown by the moment sequence (n!)c, corresponding to the Bernstein function f(s) = s. Nevertheless there always exists a uniqu...
متن کاملA transformation from Hausdorff to Stieltjes moment sequences
We introduce a non-linear injective transformation T from the set of non-vanishing normalized Hausdorff moment sequences to the set of normalized Stieltjes moment sequences by the formula T [(an)]n = 1/(a1 · . . . · an). Special cases of this transformation have appeared in various papers on exponential functionals of Lévy processes, partly motivated by mathematical finance. We give several exa...
متن کاملStieltjes Moment Sequences and Positive Definite Matrix Sequences
For a certain constant δ > 0 (a little less than 1/4), every function f : N0 → ]0,∞[ satisfying f(n)2 ≤ δf(n − 1)f(n + 1), n ∈ N, is a Stieltjes indeterminate Stieltjes moment sequence. For every indeterminate moment sequence f : N0 → R there is a positive definite matrix sequence (an) which is not of positive type and which satisfies tr(an+2) = f(n), n ∈ N0. For a certain constant ε > 0 (a lit...
متن کاملThe classical moment problem and generalized indefinite strings
We show that the classical Hamburger moment problem can be included in the spectral theory of generalized indefinite strings. Namely, we introduce the class of Krein–Langer strings and show that there is a bijective correspondence between moment sequences and this class of generalized indefinite strings. This result can be viewed as a complement to the classical results of M. G. Krein on the co...
متن کاملThe Impact of Stieltjes' Work on Continued Fractions and Orthogonal Polynomials: Additional Material
In the recent new edition of the collected works of T.J. Stieltjes, one of us gave an impression of the impact of Stieltjes' work a century after his death 43]. In this paper we give an update and mention some observations which were missing from 43] and some results which appeared during the last two years and which are directly related to Stieltjes' work. In particular there is a large sectio...
