Complete-monotonicity criterion for the generalized Mittag-Leffler function

About 6 years old · traced to

For α,β,γ>0\alpha,\beta,\gamma>0, let Fα,β(γ)F_{\alpha,\beta}^{(\gamma)} denote the generalized Mittag-Leffler function, and let x>0x>0. Complete-monotonicity criterion conjecture. For every α,β,γ>0\alpha,\beta,\gamma>0, one has

Fα,β(γ)(−x)  is completely monotone⟺z+γ(zβ−α−zβ)≤1for all z∈(0,1).F_{\alpha,\beta}^{(\gamma)}(-x)\;\text{is completely monotone}\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad z+\gamma\bigl(z^{\beta-\alpha}-z^\beta\bigr)\leq 1\quad\text{for all }z\in(0,1).

The criterion is known to be sufficient, and its necessity was established when γ≤1\gamma\leq 1 or when γ>1\gamma>1 and αγ=1\alpha\gamma=1; the conjecture asserts necessity in all remaining cases.
