Boros–Moll infinite log-concavity conjecture for the Boros–Moll sequences

From papers

Let Pn(x)=i=0ndi(n)xiP_n(x)=\sum_{i=0}^n d_i(n)x^i be the Boros–Moll polynomial, so that {di(n)}i=0n\{d_i(n)\}_{i=0}^n is its coefficient sequence. A finite nonnegative sequence is infinitely log-concave if every iterate of the operator L({ai})={ai2ai+1ai1}\mathcal{L}(\{a_i\})=\{a_i^2-a_{i+1}a_{i-1}\}, with a1=an+1=0a_{-1}=a_{n+1}=0, is nonnegative. Boros–Moll's conjecture. For every nonnegative integer nn, the sequence {di(n)}i=0n\{d_i(n)\}_{i=0}^n is infinitely log-concave. This conjecture was proved by Brändén; the ordinary log-concavity had earlier been proved by Kauers and Paule.
