From Stieltjes functions to Bernstein functions #
If
f t = a / t + b + ∫ x, (t + x)⁻¹ ∂μ,
then its continuously extended product with the parameter is a Bernstein function:
g t = a + b * t + ∫ x, t / (t + x) ∂μ.
On the open half-line this is exactly t * f(t), while g(0) = a. The value at zero is
essential: the literal product 0 * f(0) would lose the coefficient of the possible a / t
singularity. This is the first standard Stieltjes--Bernstein correspondence.
The proof differentiates the integral on the open half-line. Its derivative is
∫ x, x / (t + x) ^ 2 ∂μ,
whose derivatives have alternating signs. Continuity at zero follows by dominated convergence;
the normalization μ {0} = 0 removes the only point where t / (t + x) does not tend to zero.

The candidate Bernstein transform associated to Stieltjes representing data. Under the
normalization and integrability hypotheses of isBernsteinFunction_stieltjesBernsteinTransform,
it is a Bernstein function and is continuous on [0, ∞). For representing data, the later theorem
RepresentsStieltjes.stieltjesBernsteinTransform_eq_mul identifies it with t * f t for
positive t. Its defining equation is stieltjesBernsteinTransform_apply.
