Infinite log-monotonicity conjecture for transposed Boros-Moll sequences

Let d(m)d_\ell(m) be the coefficient of xx^\ell in the Boros-Moll polynomial Pm(x)P_m(x). For a sequence {ai}i0\{a_i\}_{i\geq 0}, let R{ai}i0={ai+1/ai}i0\mathcal{R}\{a_i\}_{i\geq 0}=\{a_{i+1}/a_i\}_{i\geq 0}. A sequence is infinitely log-monotonic when every iterate has alternating log-concavity and log-convexity as specified by the paper's definition. Infinite log-monotonicity conjecture. The transposed Boros-Moll sequence {d(m)}m\{d_\ell(m)\}_{m\geq\ell} is infinitely log-monotonic for =0\ell=0. The sequence {d(m+1)/d(m)}m\{d_\ell(m+1)/d_\ell(m)\}_{m\geq\ell} is infinite log-monotonic for each 1\ell\geq 1. The ll=0ll=0 sequence is known to be log-convex and ratio log-concave, but the asserted infinite behavior remains open.
