PILIPOVI( Institut of Mathematics Novi Sad, Yugoslavia (Received March 31, 1985 and Revised July 5, 1985) ABSTRACT. In this paper we use the notion of L-quasiasymptotic at infinity of distri- butions to obtain a final value Tauberian theorem for the distributional Stieltjes transformation. KEY WORDS AND PHRASES. Slowly varying function, the quasiasymptotic behaviour at infinity, distributional Stieltjes transform. 1980 AMS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION CODE. 44A05, 46F12. i. NOTIONS AND NOTATION. L Throughout this paper, tion on [A, ) will denote real valued, positive and measurable func- such that lim L(t) e(t) for each % tion 0, is called slowly varying and the class of such functions is introduced a 0. Function L which is regularly varying with index of regular varia- and investigated by J. Karamata. The quasiasymptotic behaviour at infinity of tempered distributions with supports in [0, ) (denoted by Definition i. the power a e R S$) was defined by Zavijalov A distribution f and with the limit (see for instance [I]). S+ has the L-quasiasymptotic S+ g # 0, if for every at infinity of g e S (S is the the space of rapidly decreasing functions) lim k/ f(kt) kaL (k) <g(t). (t) >.
