Restricted Laplace–Stieltjes Karamata theorem #
RegularlyVarying U ρ means eventual strict positivity and convergence of
U (c*x) / U x to c^ρ at infinity, for every c > 0. The reciprocal
parameterization x ↦ F (1/x) will be used for variation at zero.
The cumulative function includes the atom at zero. All transforms are restricted to the nonnegative half line; mass on the negative half line is irrelevant.
laplace_karamata proves both directions for 0 ≤ ρ < 1;
laplace_karamata_normalization gives the exact Gamma constant.
The Abelian proof uses monotonicity, doubling, and an exponential majorant.
The Tauberian proof exponentially tilts and compactifies, uses polynomial
approximation, and sandwiches the bounded discontinuous cutoff between
continuous functions. The index-zero limit is an atom and is handled separately.

Regular variation at zero through reciprocal parameterization. Equivalently,
the ratios F (c*s) / F s converge to c^κ as s decreases to zero.

Instances For
The cumulative mass, including the possible atom at zero.
Equations
Instances For
The Laplace–Stieltjes transform on the nonnegative half line. Its use as a finite transform requires integrability, not just a value of this total integral.
Equations
Instances For
Below index one, doubling can eventually be bounded by the factor two. This bound is intentionally coarse: it gives exponential domination directly.
Monotonicity and a doubling bound give a single integrable exponential majorant for the Abelian rescaling.
Abelian dominated convergence for the cumulative integral. This includes
ρ = 0; the limiting integrand is then just the exponential density.

Abelian half of the restricted Laplace–Stieltjes Karamata theorem, including its exact Gamma constant and the endpoint index zero.
Regular variation is preserved by a strictly positive asymptotic multiplier.
The Abelian regular-variation conclusion at zero.
Exact normalization, in the ratio-one form of asymptotic equivalence.
The polynomial-approximation step of the Tauberian argument. Uniformly bounded linear functionals on a compact real set converge on every continuous function as soon as they converge on all monomials.
Monomials after exponential tilting are Laplace transforms at integer multiples of the parameter. This identity does not require a limiting argument.
Transform regular variation supplies all moments needed after exponential
tilting and the substitution t = exp (-y/x).
Exponential compactification. The extension to negative arguments makes
this a continuous map on the whole real line. On nonnegative arguments it is
exactly y ↦ exp (-y).
Instances For
The normalized exponentially tilted integral, as a bounded linear functional on the compact interval.

The Gamma model has exactly the tilted moments prescribed by transform
regular variation. The index-zero model is instead the atom at 1.

A quantitative Tauberian estimate at index zero: the cumulative mass is controlled by the first two Laplace transforms.
The Tauberian ratio theorem at the boundary index zero. Concentration of the tilted law follows from its first moment, so no Gamma density is needed.
The Tauberian regular-variation conclusion at index zero.
Both directions of the Laplace–Stieltjes Karamata theorem at index zero.
Continuous-test convergence for exponentially tilted laws, once the model functional with Gamma moments has been specified. The model is a bounded linear functional, not an assumption about the cumulative function or its limit.
The power-law model measure, whose Laplace transform is s^(-ρ).
Only its nonnegative restriction is used.

Restricted Laplace–Stieltjes Karamata theorem. In reciprocal coordinates
both functions have index ρ at infinity; the transform itself has index -ρ
at zero. Eventual positivity in the regular-variation predicates excludes the
zero measure on the nonnegative half line.
