Brändén’s Conjectures on the Boros-Moll Polynomials
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove two conjectures of Brändén on the real-rootedness of the polynomials Qn(x) and Rn(x) which are related to the Boros-Moll polynomials Pn(x). In fact, we show that both Qn(x) and Rn(x) form Sturm sequences. The first conjecture implies the 2-log-concavity of Pn(x), and the second conjecture implies the 3-log-concavity of Pn(x).

The Reverse Ultra Log-Concavity of the Boros-Moll Polynomials
Based on the recurrence relations on the coefficients of the Boros-Moll polynomials Pm(a) = ∑ i di(m)a i derived independently by Kauers and Paule, and Moll, we are led to the discovery of the reverse ultra log-concavity of the sequence {di(m)}. We also show that the sequence {i!di(m)} is log-concave for m ≥ 1. Two conjectures are proposed.
متن کاملThe ratio monotonicity of the Boros-Moll polynomials
In their study of a quartic integral, Boros and Moll discovered a special class of Jacobi polynomials, which we call the Boros-Moll polynomials. Kauers and Paule proved the conjecture of Moll that these polynomials are logconcave. In this paper, we show that the Boros-Moll polynomials possess the ratio monotone property which implies the log-concavity and the spiral property. We conclude with a...
متن کاملOn the Combinatorics of the Boros-Moll Polynomials
The Boros-Moll polynomials arise in the evaluation of a quartic integral. The original double summation formula does not imply the fact that the coefficients of these polynomials are positive. Boros and Moll proved the positivity by using Ramanujan’s Master Theorem to reduce the double sum to a single sum. Based on the structure of reluctant functions introduced by Mullin and Rota along with an...
متن کاملOn a Sequence of Unimodal Polynomials Arising from a Family of Definite Integrals
The purpose of this paper is to establish the unimodality and to determine the mode of a class of Jacobi polynomials which arises in the exact integration of certain rational functions as well as in the Taylor expansion of the double square rot. Journal of Math. Anal. Appl. 237, 272-287, 1999.
متن کاملSome new families of definite polynomials and the composition conjectures
The planar polynomial vector fields with a center at the origin can be written as an scalar differential equation, for example Abel equation. If the coefficients of an Abel equation satisfy the composition condition, then the Abel equation has a center at the origin. Also the composition condition is sufficient for vanishing the first order moments of the coefficients. The composition conjectur...
