Nonnegative Laurent phenomenon conjecture for Somos-5 sequences
Nonnegative Laurent phenomenon conjecture for Somos-5 sequences
Let be a Somos-5 sequence, meaning that every six consecutive terms satisfy
The Somos-5 Laurent positivity conjecture. Every term is a Laurent polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients in the first five terms .
The Laurent-polynomial property itself is known, but the conjecture asks for coefficientwise nonnegativity. It is presented as an analogue of the preceding conjecture and concerns the cancellation-free structure of the Somos-5 recurrence.
