Bressoud's coefficient-positivity conjecture
Bressoud's coefficient-positivity conjecture
For nonnegative integers , define the -binomial coefficient by
Suppose that , that and are positive rational numbers, and that is a positive integer with and integers. If , with strict inequalities when , and , then the polynomial
has non-negative coefficients. The source presents this as Bressoud's conjecture and does not report a resolution.
