Further, we introduce a new concept of twice-logconcavity (twice-logconvexity) and show that many discrete probability distri- butions and combinatorial sequences are twice-logconcave. These results are closely related to other areas of mathematics such as combinatorics and analysis. Keywords Compound Poisson · Logconcavity · Turán inequalities · Divided differences 1 Introduction In 1912, Fekete introduced the notion of an r-times positive sequence, which is known as twice-positive sequence, or, log-concave sequence for r = 2. A sequence of nonnegative elements... a , a , a ,... is said to be r-times positive if the matrix −2 −1 0 ⎛ ⎞ . . . . . . . . . ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ . ⎟ a a a ⎜ 0 1 2 ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ . . ⎜ ⎟ A = . . , . . ⎜ a a a ⎟ −1
