McNamara–Sagan's infinite log-concavity conjecture for Pascal-triangle diagonals
McNamara–Sagan's infinite log-concavity conjecture for Pascal-triangle diagonals
Let act on a sequence by
A sequence is infinitely log-concave if every iterate is nonnegative. Let and be distinct nonnegative integers, and for each consider the sequence .
McNamara–Sagan's conjecture. The sequence is infinitely log-concave for all if and only if or .
This conjecture concerns diagonals of Pascal's triangle. The paper states that it was established by results of Brändén and Yu.
