Infinite logconcavity conjecture for the sequence {dℓ(m)}\{d_{\ell}(m)\}

About 13 years old · traced to

Let {dℓ(m)}\{d_{\ell}(m)\} be the sequence described above, and define the operator

L({xk})={xk2−xk−1xk+1}.\mathfrak{L}\left(\{x_k\}\right)=\left\{x_k^2-x_{k-1}x_{k+1}\right\}.

A sequence is infinitely logconcave if Lj({xk})\mathfrak{L}^j(\{x_k\}) is nonnegative for every j∈Nj\in\mathbb{N}. Infinite logconcavity conjecture. The sequence {dℓ(m)}\{d_{\ell}(m)\} is infinitely logconcave.

Logconcavity of this sequence is known, including through ratio-monotonicity and the minimum conjecture, but infinite logconcavity is the stronger proposed property and is not resolved here.
