Line 1:
In [[mathematics]], a sequence {{math|''a''}} = {{math| (''a''<sub>0</sub>, ''a''<sub>1</sub>, ..., ''a''<sub>''n''</sub>)}} of nonnegative real numbers is called a '''logarithmically concave sequence''', or a '''log-concave sequence''' for short, if {{math|''a''<sub>''i''</sub><sup>2</sup> ≥ ''a''<sub>''i''−1</sub>''a''<sub>''i''+1</sub>}} holds for {{math|0 < ''i'' < ''n'' }}.
 
'''Remark:''' some authors (explicitelyexplicitly or not) add two further hypotheses in the definition of log-concave sequences:
* {{math|''a''}} is non-negative
* {{math|''a''}} has no internal zeros; in other words, the support of {{math|''a''}} is an interval of {{math|'''Z'''}}.
