Rescaled discrete Laguerre inequality

About 16 years old · traced to

Let L-Pn\mathcal{L}\text{-}\mathcal{P}_n denote the real polynomials of degree nn with only real zeros, let μ(p)\mu(p) be their mesh size, and define

fn(x,h,p)=(n−1)[p(x+h)−p(x−h)]2−4np(x)[p(x+h)−2p(x)+p(x−h)].f_n(x,h,p)=(n-1)[p(x+h)-p(x-h)]^2-4np(x)[p(x+h)-2p(x)+p(x-h)].

Rescaled discrete Laguerre conjecture. If p(x)∈L-Pnp(x)\in\mathcal{L}\text{-}\mathcal{P}_n and μ(p)≥h>0\mu(p)\ge h>0, then fn(x,h,p)≥0f_n(x,h,p)\ge 0 for all x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}. This is stated as an equivalent rescaling of Krasikov's conjecture, which the paper proves; hence this formulation is solved as well.
