Abstract

In this paper we prove the strong qq-log-convexity of the Eulerian polynomials of Coxeter groups using their exponential generating functions. Our proof is based on the theory of exponential Riordan arraya and a criterion for determining the strong qq-log-convexity of polynomials sequences, whose generating functions can be given by the continued fraction. As consequences, we get the strong qq-log-convexity the Eulerian polynomials of type An,BnA_n,B_n, their qq-analogous and the generalized Eulerian polynomials associated to the arithmetic progression {a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,}\{a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,\ldots\} in a unified manner.
