Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide some additional insight into the moment problem by connecting a condition by Lin, Bondesson's class of hyperbolically completely monotone densities, and the theory of regularly varying functions. In particular, two questions addressed in a recent paper by Stoyanov concerning powers of random variables and functions that (do not) preserve uniqueness will be investigated.
