Total positivity of the barycentric subdivision operator
Total positivity of the barycentric subdivision operator
Let be the barycentric subdivision, and let denote its associated operator. A matrix is totally positive if every minor of every order is positive, and is TP when it is totally positive. Total-positivity conjecture. The matrix is TP. This would strengthen the known result that is TP, and would extend the corresponding theorem for the th-edgewise subdivision; the source offers experimental evidence but does not report a proof.
