Positivity problem of three-term recurrence sequences

Combinatorics 2023-01-06 v1

Abstract

We present some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the positivity problem of three-term recurrence sequences. As applications we show the positivity of diagonal Taylor coefficients of some rational functions in a unified approach. We also establish a criterion for the positivity and log-convexity of such sequences.
