Abstract
In this paper we characterize the class Ck of functions f on (0,∞) for which f(x), . . ., (xkf(x))(k) are completely monotonic for given k. In the limit we obtain the well-known characterization of the class of Stieltjes functions as those functions f defined on the positive half line for which (xkf(x))(k) is completely monotonic on (0,∞) for all k ≥ 0.
