The rank-unimodality conjecture for the electrical poset

Let EPnEP_n be the graded poset of electrical networks on nn boundary vertices, and let EPn,rEP_{n,r} denote its rank-rr elements. Its rank-generating polynomial is

Xn(q)=rEPn,rqr.X_n(q)=\sum_r |EP_{n,r}|q^r.

Rank-unimodality conjecture. EPnEP_n is rank-unimodal; equivalently, the sequence (EPn,r)r(|EP_{n,r}|)_r is unimodal. The conjecture concerns the distribution of electrical networks by rank. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
