Abstract

We prove the reverse ultra log-concavity of the Boros-Moll polynomials. We further establish an inequality which implies the log-concavity of the sequence {i!di(m)}\{i!d_i(m)\} for any m2m\geq 2, where di(m)d_i(m) are the coefficients of the Boros-Moll polynomials Pm(a)P_m(a). This inequality also leads to the fact that in the asymptotic sense, the Boros-Moll sequences are just on the borderline between ultra log-concavity and reverse ultra log-concavity. We propose two conjectures on the log-concavity and reverse ultra log-concavity of the sequence {di1(m)di+1(m)/di(m)2}\{d_{i-1}(m) d_{i+1}(m)/d_i(m)^2\} for m2m\geq 2.
