    On powers of Stieltjes moment sequences. II (English)
    31 October 2006
    The present paper is in continuation of the author's previous work [J. Theor. Probab. 18, 871--889 (2005; Zbl 1086.44003)]. Stieltjes characterized sequences by certain quadratic forms being non-negative. The author considers the set of Stieltjes moment sequences, for which every positive power is again a Stieltjes moment sequence. An integral representation of the logarithm of the moment sequence in analogy to the Levy-Khintchine representation is established. This result is used to construct product convolution semigroups with moments of all orders and to calculate their Mellin transforms. A positive generating function for orthonormal Hermite polynomials is obtained.
