Sep 18, 2020 at 13:43 comment added Silverfish When I saw the question title I immediately assumed (wrongly) you were interested in the memoryless property, not just a monotonically decreasing PDF. This got me wondering, so I have asked a related question, which in a sense is asking "how close to exponential can you make a distribution with support [0, 1]?" - stats.stackexchange.com/questions/488090/…
Sep 18, 2020 at 9:26 comment added Henry @john - In probability the support is often defined as the smallest closed set with probability $1$. This works whether the distribution has a density function or not and whether it is discrete, absolutely continuous, singular or some mixture
Sep 18, 2020 at 6:46 comment added john Why not just call your support a domain. That way we can use a common language among many mathematical subjects. Just found this - "the support of a real-valued function f is the subset of the domain containing those elements which are not mapped to zero."

Sep 17, 2020 at 7:37 comment added Stephan Kolassa @AlexR: that is actually a good answer. Do you want to post it as such?
Sep 17, 2020 at 7:21 comment added AlexR You could always consider a truncated exponential distribution. The pdf would be $\lambda e^{-\lambda x} / (1 -e^{-\lambda})$.
