The derivative-convolution real-rootedness conjecture

From papers

Let pNp\in\mathbb{N}^* and let P,QR[X]P,Q\in\mathbb{R}[X] have degree pp. Derivative-convolution conjecture. If PP and QQ are real-rooted, then

k=0pP(k)Q(pk)\sum_{k=0}^p P^{(k)}Q^{(p-k)}

is real-rooted as well. This is presented as an equivalent formulation of the semi-symmetric hyperbolicity conjecture, so it is connected to the concavity problem through the real-rootedness of associated polynomials. It remains open in the paper.
