      Complete monotonicity and related properties of some special functions 

      Koumandos, S.; Lamprecht, M. (2013)
      We completely determine the set of s, t > 0 for which the function is a Bernstein function, that is Ls,t(x) is positive with completely monotonic derivative on (0, ∞). The complete monotonicity of several closely related ...

      On a conjecture for trigonometric sums and starlike functions, II 

      Koumandos, S.; Lamprecht, M. (2010)
      We prove the case ρ=1/4 of the following conjecture of Koumandos and Ruscheweyh: let snμ(z)=Σk=0n(μ)k/ k!zk, and for ρε(0,1] let μ≤(ρ) be the unique solution of 0(ρ+1)πsin(t-ρπ)tμ-1dt =0 in (0,1]. Then we have pipearg[(1 ...

      Some completely monotonic functions of positive order 

      Koumandos, S.; Lamprecht, M. (2010)
      We completely determine the set of (α, β) ∈ ℝ2for which the function is convex on (0, ∞) and use this result to give some special classes of completely monotonic functions of positive order related to gamma and psi functions. ...

      The zeros of certain Lommel functions 

      Koumandos, S.; Lamprecht, M. (2012)
      Lommel's function s μ,ν(z) is a particular solution of the differential equation z 2y″ + zy′ + (z 2 - ν 2)y = z μ+1. Here we present estimates and monotonicity properties of the positive zeros of s μ-1/2,1/2(z) when μ ∈ ...
