3 Bernstein-gamma functions φ is a Bernstein function that is φ B iff φ(z) = m + δz + where m, δ ; (1 y) µ(dy) <. ( 1 e zy ) µ(dy), z {ζ C : Re(ζ) }, The unique solution in the space of Mellin transforms of positive random variables 3 to the recurrent equation f (z + 1) = φ(z)f (z) on z C (, ) = {ζ C : Re(ζ) > } (.1) we denote by W φ and call a Bernstein-gamma function. 3 The Mellin transform of a positive random variable Y is given by M Y (z) = E [ Y z 1].
