Chernoff density, i.e., the density of argmax\((W(t) - t^2)\) for a two-sided Brownian motion \(W\), is shown to be log-concave. A stronger form of log-concavity is conjectured and a partial proof thereof is provided. The proof uses a characterization of Pólya frequency functions due to Schoenberg and a representation for Airy functions due to Merkes and Salmassi.
