The completely monotone conjecture for Fisher information along the heat flow
The completely monotone conjecture for Fisher information along the heat flow
Let be a random variable such that is infinitely differentiable.
Completely monotone conjecture. The function is completely monotonous, that is
for every and non-negative integer .
The conjecture asks whether all derivatives of Fisher information along the heat flow have alternating signs. The first cases are known, but the statement is not known for all ; the surrounding discussion specifically notes that the cases remain unresolved.
