Weak Hurwitz stability conjecture for consecutive type A minuscule polynomials

For each positive integer nn, let Nn(x)N_n(x) be the type A minuscule polynomial

Nn(x):=14n+2k=1n1k(nk)(2n+22k+1)xk.N_n(x):=\frac{1}{4n+2}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k(n-k)\binom{2n+2}{2k+1}x^k.

A real polynomial is weakly Hurwitz stable if it is non-vanishing or identically zero when Re(x)>0\operatorname{Re}(x)>0, equivalently, all its zeros lie in the closed left half-plane. Weak Hurwitz stability conjecture. The polynomial

Nn+1(x)2Nn+2(x)Nn(x)N_{n+1}(x)^2-N_{n+2}(x)N_n(x)

is weakly Hurwitz stable for each positive integer nn. The authors report computational verification for n50n\leq 50, but no general proof is given in the supplied text.
