On log concave sequences (Q1182977)

A sequence \(a_ 0,\dots,a_ n\) is said to be log concave if \(a_{i- 1}a_{i+1}\leq a^ 2_ i\) for \(i=1,\dots,n-1\). In this note a log concave sequence is assumed to consist of positive real numbers. The main result of the authors shows how a log concave sequence generates a log supermodular function on the lattice \(\{(i,j)\mid\;0\leq i,j\leq n\}\), where \((i,j)\leq(r,s)\) if \(i\leq r\) and \(j\geq s\).
