Support containment for measures associated with nested polynomial sets

About 16 years old · traced to

Let AA and BB be finite sets of integer polynomials, each polynomial having only real roots. For each such set, let ηA\eta_A denote the lower-bound measure and let μA\mu_A denote the measure produced by the paper's method; write supp⁡(μ)\operatorname{supp}(\mu) for the support of a measure.

Support-containment conjecture. If A⊂BA\subset B, then

supp⁡(ηB)⊂supp⁡(ηA)\operatorname{supp}(\eta_B)\subset\operatorname{supp}(\eta_A)

and

supp⁡(μB)⊂supp⁡(μA)⊂supp⁡(ηA).\operatorname{supp}(\mu_B)\subset\operatorname{supp}(\mu_A)\subset\operatorname{supp}(\eta_A).

The containments have been observed in the cases computed in the paper and in the cited prior work, but no general proof is given.
