Sep 22, 2021 at 20:16 comment added Giorgio Metafune If $p>1$ the result does not hold. In fact positivity for every $a<b$ is equivalent to $h$ being decreasing or $g$ being positive definite. And this is not true since $g(t)-g(0)$ has a zero of order bigger than 2 at $t=0$ and it is known that such a function would be constant (Bhatia, Positive definite matrices, Corollary 5.5.6)
Sep 22, 2021 at 17:33 comment added Iosif Pinelis @nerdl : The proof certainly will not work for $p>1$, and I think the result will not hold either.
