Higher-order Poisson–Charlier divergence lower-bound conjecture
Higher-order Poisson–Charlier divergence lower-bound conjecture
Let be a random variable with values in , let be the Poisson parameter, and let denote the Poisson–Charlier polynomial of order . Write for the divergence from the Poisson distribution with parameter . Higher-order Poisson–Charlier lower-bound conjecture. For every such and every ,
whenever . This would extend the established first-order Poisson bound to every order of the Poisson–Charlier polynomial; the source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
