Narayana polynomials form a q-log-convex sequence
Narayana polynomials form a q-log-convex sequence
The Narayana number counts Dyck paths of length with exactly peaks, and the Narayana polynomials are . A sequence of polynomials is q-log-convex when each difference has nonnegative coefficients. Narayana polynomials conjecture. The Narayana polynomials form a -log-convex sequence. This was verified for using Maple; pointwise log-convexity for each fixed nonnegative is known, but coefficientwise -log-convexity remains the conjectural strengthening.
