Complete monotonicity or log-convexity of a Mittag-Leffler expression

About 1 year old · traced to

Let 0<α≤120<\alpha\leq\frac{1}{2} and define

f(t)=∣E2α,1(−t)∣2+t∣E2α,1+α(−t)∣2.f(t)=\left|E_{2\alpha,1}(-t)\right|^2+t\left|E_{2\alpha,1+\alpha}(-t)\right|^2.

Here Eρ,βE_{\rho,\beta} denotes the Mittag-Leffler function with parameters ρ\rho and β\beta. Complete-monotonicity conjecture. The function f(t)f(t) is completely monotone, or at least log-convex, for t>0t>0. This property is proposed as the key ingredient for proving a logarithmic convexity estimate for time-fractional Schrödinger equations; no resolution is supplied, so the conjecture remains open.
