Abstract: We show that Stieltjes moment sequences are infinitely log-convex, which parallels a famous result that (finite) P'olya frequency sequences are infinitely log-concave. We introduce the concept of -Stieltjes moment sequences of polynomials and show that many well-known polynomials in combinatorics are such sequences. We provide a criterion for linear transformations and convolutions preserving Stieltjes moment sequences. Many well-known combinatorial sequences are shown to be Stieltjes moment sequences in a unified approach and therefore infinitely log-convex, which in particular settles a conjecture of Chen and Xia about the infinite log-convexity of the Schr"oder numbers. We also list some interesting problems and conjectures about the log-convexity and the Stieltjes moment property of the (generalized) Ap'ery numbers.
