Log-Concavity of Sequences

Logarithmically concave sequence

Log-concave sequences are nonnegative real number sequences that satisfy the condition ai2 ≥ ai−1ai+1 for 0 < i < n. They are also known as Pólya Frequency sequences of order 2 (PF2 sequences). Examples of log-concave sequences include binomial coefficients and elementary symmetric means.
