Abstract
Let be a polynomial of degree , with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number , the coefficients of form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case being a positive integer has already been asserted in a previous work. Further, we explore the location of modes of and present some sufficient conditions on and for which has the unique mode .
