Handelman's integrability conjecture for log-convex functions

Let h:(0,)(0,)h:(0,\infty)\rightarrow(0,\infty) be a log-convex function satisfying

limnh(n)h(n+1)=1.\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{h(n)}{h(n+1)}=1.

Assume that h2(x)/h(2x)h^2(x)/h(2x) is integrable on (0,)(0,\infty). Handelman's integrability conjecture. Then hh is also integrable on (0,)(0,\infty). Handelman posed this question in connection with maximal functions and the integrability of products involving log-convex functions; the supplied text does not establish whether the conjecture is resolved.
