The Odlyzko Conjecture and O'Hara's Unimodality Proof

Dennis Stanton, Doron Zeilberger · Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society · 1989

We observe that Andrew Odlyzko's conjecture that the Maclaurin coefficients of 1/[(1 + q)(\ + q + q2) ■ ■ ■ (1 + q + ■ ■ ■ + <?*"')] have alternating signs is an almost immediate consequence of an identity that is implied by Kathy O'Hara's recent magnificent combinatorial proof of the unimodality of the Gaussian coefficients.
