Nikolov's non-negative Chebyshev expansion conjecture for snake polynomials
Let be a nonnegative majorant, and let be the snake polynomial associated with , meaning that on and that it attains alternating values at alternation points. Nikolov's non-negative Chebyshev expansion conjecture. If is a continuous even convex function on , then the snake polynomials associated with have a non-negative expansion in the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The problem asks for classes of majorants with this positivity property; the supplied text gives no evidence that the stated class has been proved sufficient.
