Infinite q-log-convexity of the polynomial sequences in Example basic-qSM

From papers

Let {fi(q)}i0\{f_i(q)\}_{i\geq 0} be any of the polynomial sequences defined in Example basic-qSM\mathrm{basic\text{-}qSM}. A sequence is infinitely qq-log-convex if every iterate under

L{fi(q)}i0={fi1(q)fi+1(q)fi(q)2}i1\mathcal{L}\{f_i(q)\}_{i\geq 0}=\{f_{i-1}(q)f_{i+1}(q)-f_i(q)^2\}_{i\geq 1}

has coefficientwise nonnegative polynomials. The infinite qq-log-convexity conjecture. Every sequence of polynomials in Example basic-qSM\mathrm{basic\text{-}qSM} is infinitely qq-log-convex. The paper notes that these sequences are already known to be 33-qq-log-convex and, for fixed nonnegative real qq, infinitely log-convex; the infinite qq-analogue remains proposed for further research.
