In determining the monotonicity of coefficients in a series expansion (which appeared in one of my study), I come across the following problem.
Let $p\ge 2$ be an integer, and $$6p^3(i+3)d_{i+3}=6p^2(i+2+p)d_{i+2}+3p(p-1)(i+1+2p)d_{i+1}+(p-1)(2p-1)(i+3p)d_i,~~i\ge0$$ with $d_0=d_1=d_2=1$. How to show $d_i>d_{i+1}$ for all $i\ge3$?
By easy calculation, $d_3=1, d_4=\frac{18p^3+11p^2-6p+1}{24p^3}$. For a recursion of 2 or 3 terms, it is easy to proceed with induction, but what about 4 terms in this case?
