In this article we investigate the property of complete monotonicity within a special family Fs of functions in s variables involving logarithms. The main result of this work provides a linear isomorphism between Fs and the space of real multivariate polynomials. This isomorphism identifies the cone of completely monotone functions with the cone of non-negative polynomials. We conclude that the cone of completely monotone functions in Fs is semi-algebraic. This gives a finite time algorithm to decide whether a function in Fs is completely monotone
