Some coefficient sequences related to the descent polynomial

Combinatorics 2019-01-16 v2

Abstract

The descent polynomial of a finite IZ+I\subseteq \mathbb{Z}^+ is the polynomial d(I,n)d(I,n), for which the evaluation at n>max(I)n>\max(I) is the number of permutations on nn elements, such that II is the set of indices where the permutation is descending. In this paper we will prove some conjectures concerning coefficient sequences of d(I,n)d(I,n). As a corollary we will describe some zero-free regions for the descent polynomial.
