A Pick function of variables is a holomorphic map from to , where is the upper halfplane. Some Pick functions of one variable have an asymptotic expansion at infinity, a power series with real numbers that gives an asymptotic expansion on non-tangential approach regions to infinity. In 1921 H. Hamburger characterized which sequences can occur. We give an extension of Hamburger's results to Pick functions of two variables.

We prove generalizations of Loewner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of d variables is locally monotone on d-tuples of commuting self-adjoint n-by-n matrices. We prove a generalization to several variables of Nevanlinna's theorem describing analytic functions that map the upper half-plane to itself and satisfy a growth condition. We use this to characterize all rational functions of two variables that are operator monotone.
