The log-concavity of the q-derangement numbers of type B AbstractRecently, Chen and Xia proved that for n ≥ 6, the q-derangement numbers Dn(q) are log-concave except for the last term when n is even.

### Abstract

AbstractRecently, Chen and Xia proved that for n ≥ 6, the q-derangement numbers Dn(q) are log-concave except for the last term when n is even. In this paper, employing a recurrence relation forDnB(q)$\begin{array}{}\displaystyle D^B_n(q)\end{array}$ discovered by Chow, we show that for n ≥ 4, the q-derangement numbers of type B DnB(q)$\begin{array}{}\displaystyle D^B_n(q)\end{array}$ are also log-concave.
