Abstract: The Boros-Moll polynomials $P_m(a)$ arise in the evaluation of a quartic integral. It has been conjectured by Boros and Moll that these polynomials are infinitely log-concave. In this paper, we show that $P_m(a)$ is 2-log-concave for any $mgeq2$. Let $d_i(m)$ be the coefficient of $a^i$ in $P_m(a)$. We also show that the sequence ${i(i+1)(d_i^{,2}(m)-d_{i-1}(m)d_{i+1}(m))}_{1leqileqm}$ is log-concave. This leads another proof of Moll's minimum conjecture.
