On a Coefficient Conjecture of Brannan

Abstract: In 1972, D.A. Brannan conjectured that all of the odd coefficients, a 2n+1 , of the power series (1 + xz) α /(1 − z) were dominated by those of the series (1 + z) α /(1 − z) for the parameter range 0 < α < 1, after having shown that this was not true for the even coefficients. He verified the case when 2n + 1 = 3. The case when 2n + 1 = 5 was verified in the mid-eighties by J.G. Milcetich. In this paper, we verify the case when 2n + 1 = 7 using classical Sturm sequence arguments and some computer algebra. 1980

“…The case β = 1, α ∈ (0, 1) is still open. Regarding this case partial results were obtained in [3], [4], [6], [7]. We will prove some partial results regarding the case β = 1, and α ∈ (0, 1).…”

“…This conjecture, for the special case β = 1, has been established by Brannan [4] (n = 3), J. G. Milcetich [7] (n = 5) and recently by R. W. Barnard, K. Pearce and W. Wheeler [3] (n = 7). For the cases α = β it has been verified by H. Silverman and E. Silvia [8] (n = 3; for the context of their work compare Section 3) and very recently by R. Geisler [6] for n ≤ 33, making heavy use of computer algebra.…”

“…Actually, this system is called "complex analysis". The development of complex numbers as an extension of rigorous proofs has provided new and expanding perspectives in many areas of mathematics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
