Su and Wang's log-concavity-to-log-convexity conjecture for binomial coefficient sequences
Su and Wang's log-concavity-to-log-convexity conjecture for binomial coefficient sequences
Let , , , and be integers such that and . The sequence
is defined by these binomial coefficients. Su and Wang's log-concavity-to-log-convexity conjecture. There exists an integer such that this sequence is log-concave for and log-convex for .
This conjecture describes a single transition between log-concavity and log-convexity along a ray of Pascal's triangle. The abstract states that the paper proves the claim using a variation-diminishing property of the Laplace transform.
