Strong coefficientwise Hankel-total positivity conjecture for the GKP recurrence
Let be defined by the shifted GKP recurrence
and let be its row-generating polynomials, where . A sequence is coefficientwise Hankel-totally positive when every minor of its Hankel matrix has nonnegative coefficients in the indicated indeterminates.
Strong coefficientwise Hankel-total positivity conjecture for the GKP recurrence. The sequence
of row-generating polynomials of this shifted recurrence is coefficientwise Hankel-totally positive, jointly in the seven indeterminates .
This is presented as a stronger version of the unshifted GKP positivity conjecture, obtained by an affine reparametrization, and remains unproved in the supplied text.
