Jacobi-Stirling transformation conjecture on preserving log-convexity
Jacobi-Stirling transformation conjecture on preserving log-convexity
A sequence transformation maps a sequence to a sequence . For the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the second kind and the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the first kind , define
or
A sequence is log-convex if for the relevant indices. Jacobi-Stirling transformation conjecture. Each of these transformations preserves log-convexity for and : whenever is log-convex, the resulting sequence is also log-convex. This extends the known log-convexity-preservation result for the Stirling transformation and is posed in connection with the log-convexity properties of Jacobi-Stirling polynomials; its resolution is not given in the source.
