We study the fixed point for a non-linear transformation in the set of Hausdorffmoment sequences,defined by the formula: T ((an))n = 1/(a0+E E E+an).We determine the corresponding measureE,which has an increasing and convex density on ]0, 1[, and we study some analytic functions relatedto it. TheMellin transform F of E extends to ameromorphic function in the whole complex plane.It can be characterized in analogy with the Gamma function as the unique log-convex functionon ].1,[ satisfying F(0) = 1 and the functional equation 1/F (s) = 1/F (s + 1) . F(s + 1),s > .1.
