Our starting point is an integral inequality that involves convex, concave and monotonically increasing functions. We provide some interpretations of the inequality, in terms of both probability and terms of linear functionals, from which we further generate completely monotone functions and means. The latter application is seen from the perspective of monotonicity and convexity.

In this article we present technique how to produce completely monotone functions using linear functionals and already known families of completely monotone functions. After that, using mean value theorems, we construct means of Cauchy type that have monotonicity properties.

In this paper we consider a single-server queue with Lévy input and, in particular, its workload process (Qt)t≥0, with a focus on the correlation structure. With the correlation function defined asr(t) := cov(Q0,Qt) / var(Q0) (assuming that the workload process is in stationarity at time 0), we first determine its transform ∫0∞r(t)e-ϑtdt. This expression allows us to prove thatr(·) is positive, decreasing, and convex, relying on the machinery of completely monotone functions. We also show thatr(·) can be represented as the complementary distribution function of a specific random variable. These results are used to compute the asymptotics ofr(t), for larget, for the cases of light-tailed and heavy-tailed Lévy inputs.

We consider sequences $ {\lbrace \rho_j \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ $ (\rho_0 \mathclose{=} 1, \rho_j \mathclose{\geq} 1) $, $ {\lbrace \alpha_j \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ $ (\alpha_0 \mathclose{=} 1, \alpha_j \mathclose{=} 1 \mathclose{-} (1/\rho_j )) $, $ {\lbrace W_j (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} \mathclose{\in} W $, where $$ W \mathclose{=} \lbrace {\lbrace W_j (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} / W_0 (x) \mathclose{\equiv} 1, W_j (x) \mathclose{>} 0, {W}_{j}^{\prime} (x) \mathclose{\leq} 0, W_j (x) \mathclose{\in} C^\infty [0,a] \rbrace, $$ $ C^\infty [0,a] $ is the class of functions of infinitely differentiable. For such sequences we introduce systems of operators $ {\lbrace {A}_{a,n}^{\ast} f \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $, $ {\lbrace \tilde{A}_{a,n}^{\ast} f \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $ and functions $ {\lbrace {U}_{a,n} (x) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $, $ {\lbrace {\Phi}_{n} (x,t) \rbrace}_{0}^{\infty} $. For a certain class of functions a generalization of Taylor–Maclaurin type formulae was obtained. We also introduce the concept of $ \langle \rho_j,W_j \rangle $ generalized completely monotone functions and establish a theorem on their representation.

The Time Domain

AbstractThe relaxation properties of dielectric materials are described, in the frequency domain, according to one of the several models proposed over the years: Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts, Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, Havriliak-Negami (with its modified version) and Excess wing model are among the most famous. Their description in the time domain involves some mathematical functions whose knowledge is of fundamental importance for a full understanding of the models. In this work, we survey the main dielectric models and we illustrate the corresponding time-domain functions. In particular, we stress the attention on the completely monotone character of the relaxation and response functions. We also provide a characterization of the models in terms of differential operators of fractional order.
