Abstract: Considering slowly varying functions (SVF), Seneta in 2019 conjectured the following implication, for $alphageq1$, ${\displaystyle }$ int_0^x y^{alpha-1}(1-F(y))dy extrm{ is SVF} Longrightarrow int_{[0,x]}y^{alpha}dF(y) extrm{ is SVF, as } x oinfty,${\displaystyle }$ where $F(x)$ is a cumulative distribution function on $[0,infty)$. Complementary results related to this transform and particular cases of this extended conjecture are discussed.
