Abstract:
Let be a nonnegative integer and let be a function with completely monotone and not constant. If is a signed measure on any euclidean space , with vanishing moments up to order , then the integral is strictly positive whenever it exists. For general no larger class of continuous functions seems to admit the same conclusion. Examples and applications are indicated. A section on ''bilinear integrability'' might be of independent interest.
