摘要:
Following Boros-Moll, a sequence (an) is m-log-concave if Lj(an)⩾0\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

\begin{document}$${\mathcal{L}(a_{n}) = a^{2}_{n}-a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}$$\end{document}. By a criterion of Craven-Csordas and McNamara-Sagan it is known that a sequence is ∞-log-concave if it satisfies the stronger inequality ak2⩾rak-1ak+1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

\begin{document}$${a^{2}_{k}\geqslant ra_{k-1}a_{k+1}}$$\end{document} for large enough r. On the other hand, a recent result of Brändén shows that ∞-log-concave sequences include sequences whose generating polynomial has only negative real roots. In this paper, we investigate sequences which are fixed by a power of the operator L\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
