Abstract: | Summary The following Artin type characterization of : + + is proved: Assume thatf: + + satisfies the Gauss multiplication formula for some fixedp 2,f is absolutely continuous on [l/p, 1 + ] for some > 0 and limx 0xf(x) = 1. Thenf(x) = (x) forx > 0.The optimality of this result is checked by means of counterexamples. For instance, it is shown that the result is no longer true, if f is absolutely continuous is replaced by f is continuous and of finite variation. |
