Chen–Liang–Wang's total-positivity conjecture for the type-A Narayana triangle

Let NA(n,k)=1k+1(n+1k)(nk)NA(n,k)=\frac{1}{k+1}\binom{n+1}{k}\binom{n}{k} be the Narayana numbers, and let

NA=[NA(n,k)]n,k0N_A=\left[NA(n,k)\right]_{n,k\geq 0}

be the Narayana triangle of type AA. Chen–Liang–Wang's conjecture. The Narayana triangle NAN_A is totally positive: all its minors are nonnegative. This conjecture concerns total positivity of a fundamental combinatorial triangle; its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
