The squarefreeness conjecture for the polynomials Fm,nF_{m,n}

Let m,nN+m,n\in\mathbb{N}_{+} with n>2mn>2m and define

Fm,n(t)=Anm(1,t)24An2m(1,t)An(1,t).F_{m,n}(t)=A_{n-m}(1,t)^{2}-4A_{n-2m}(1,t)A_{n}(1,t).

Squarefreeness conjecture. The polynomial Fm,nF_{m,n} has no multiple roots.

This conjecture concerns the discriminant-type polynomials arising in the study of quadratic divisors of the quadrinomials. The source presents it as plausible but does not prove it.
