Concavity conjecture for normalized Bell numbers
Concavity conjecture for normalized Bell numbers
From papers
For , define
so that for nonnegative integers , where is the -th Bell number. Bell-function concavity conjecture. The function is log-concave for , equivalently
This would imply Sun's conjectured log-concavity of . The paper proves that is strictly increasing, but gives no resolution of the stronger concavity conjecture.
