摘要
In this expository article we survey some properties of completely monotonic functions and give various examples, including some famous special functions. Such function are useful, for example, in probability theory. It is known, [1, p.450], for example, that a function omega is the Laplace transform of an infinitely divisible probability distribution on (0, infinity), if and only if omega = e(-h), where the derivative of h is completely monotonic and h(0+) = 0.
