Eventual log-concavity of the coefficients of the q-Catalan numbers
Eventual log-concavity of the coefficients of the q-Catalan numbers
Let denote the -Catalan numbers and let be their coefficients. Log-concavity conjecture. There exists an integer such that, when is sufficiently large, the sequence
is log-concave, namely
for . Moreover, the minimum value of seems to be . This is presented as a stronger conjecture suggested by numerical evidence for ; it remains open.
