Strict log-concavity conjecture for the rank of strongly unimodal sequences

Let u(m,n)u(m,n) denote the number of strongly unimodal sequences of size nn and rank mm. Strict log-concavity conjecture. For n37n\ge37 and mn23|m|\le n-23, we have

u(m,n)2>u(m1,n)u(m+1,n).u(m,n)^2 > u(m-1,n)u(m+1,n).

The conjecture is known asymptotically: for each fixed mm, the inequality holds as nn tends to infinity. The stated uniform range remains conjectural.
