Eventual positivity of iterated Turán inequalities for shifted multiplier sequences

Let {γi}i0\{\gamma_i\}_{i\geq 0} be a shifted multiplier sequence that is eventually increasing. For jNj\in\mathbb{N}, let TjT_j denote the order-jj Turán operator, and write Tj(k)T_j^{(k)} for its kk-fold iterate. The iterated Turán-positivity conjecture. For each j,kNj,k\in\mathbb{N}, there exists Nj(k)N_j^{(k)} such that

Tj(k)(n)>0T_j^{(k)}(n)>0

for all nNj(k)n\geq N_j^{(k)}. This generalizes eventual infinite log-concavity to all orders of Turán inequalities; the paper gives evidence from partition numbers and discusses several known special cases, but the general assertion remains open.
