Complete monotonicity of functions, Definition 3.1, is often proved by showing that their inverse Laplace transforms are nonnegative. There are relatively few simple functions whose inverse Laplace transforms can be expressed in terms of standard higher transcendental functions. Inverting a Laplace transform involves integrating a complex-valued function over a vertical line, and establishing the positivity of the resulting integral can be tricky. Sometimes asymptotic methods are helpful, see for example Fields and Ismail [6].

AbstractWe establish integral representations for quotients of Tricomi ψ functions and of several quotients of modified Bessel functions and of linear combinations of them. These integral representations are used to prove the complete monotonicity of the functions considered and to prove the infinite divisibility of a three parameter probability distribution. Limiting cases of this distribution are the hitting time distributions considered recently by Kent and Wendel. We also derive explicit formulas for the Kent–Wendel probability density functions.

AbstractWe derive Mellin integral representations in terms of Macdonald functions for the squared absolute value{s\mapsto|\Gamma(a+is)|^{2}}of the gamma function and its Fourier transform when{a<0}is non-integer, generalizing known results in the case{a>0}. This representation is based on a renormalization argument using modified Bessel functions of the second kind, and it applies to the representation of the solutions of a Fokker–Planck equation.

The first part of the article contains integral expressions for products of two Bessel functions of the first kind having either different integer orders or different arguments. A similar question for a product of modified Bessel functions of the first kind is solved next, when the input functions are of different integer orders and have different arguments.

The successive time derivatives of relative entropy and entropy production for a system with a reversible first-order reaction alternate in sign. It is proved that the relative entropy for reactions with an equilibrium constant smaller than or equal to one is completely monotonic in the whole definition interval, and for reactions with an equilibrium constant larger than one this function is completely monotonic at the beginning of the reaction and near to equilibrium.


A theory of Lommel functions is developed, based upon the methods described in the first four papers (I to IV) of this series for replacing the divergent parts of asymptotic expansions by easily calculable series involving one or other of the four ‘basic converging factors’ which were investigated and tabulated in I. This theory is then illustrated by application to the special cases of Struve, modified Struve, Anger and Weber functions, and integrals of ordinary and modified Bessel functions.
