On the q - log - Concavity of Gaussian Binomial Coefficients 335
We give a combinatorial proof that k l-k-1 l + t q q q q a polynomial in q with nonnegative coefficients for nonnegative integers a, b, k, lwith a>~b and l~>k. In particular, for a=b=n and l=k, this implies the q-log-concavity of the Gaussian binomial coefficients k , which was conjectured q by BUTLER (Proc.
متن کاملOn P,q-binomial Coefficients
In this paper, we develop the theory of a p, q-analogue of the binomial coefficients. Some properties and identities parallel to those of the usual and q-binomial coefficients will be established including the triangular, vertical, and the horizontal recurrence relations, horizontal generating function, and the orthogonality and inverse relations. The construction and derivation of these result...
متن کاملSTRICT UNIMODALITY OF q-BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS
We prove strict unimodality of the q-binomial coefficients ( n k ) q as polynomials in q. The proof is based on the combinatorics of certain Young tableaux and the semigroup property of Kronecker coefficients of Sn representations. Résumé. Nous prouvons l’unimodalité stricte des coefficients q-binomiaux ( n k ) q comme des polynômes en q. La preuve est basée sur la combinatoire de certains Tabl...
متن کاملOn Log-concavity of the Generalized Marcum Q Function
It is shown that, if ν ≥ 1/2 then the generalized Marcum Q function Qν(a, b) is log-concave in b ∈ [0,∞). This proves a conjecture of Sun, Baricz and Zhou (2010). We also point out relevant results in the statistics literature.
متن کاملThe q-Log-convexity of the Generating Functions of the Squares of Binomial Coefficients
We prove a conjecture of Liu and Wang on the q-log-convexity of the polynomial sequence { ∑n k=0 ( n k )2 q}n≥0. By using Pieri’s rule and the Jacobi-Trudi identity for Schur functions, we obtain an expansion of a sum of products of elementary symmetric functions in terms of Schur functions with nonnegative coefficients. Then the principal specialization leads to the q-log-convexity. We also pr...
