Mar 12, 2022 at 23:34 comment added JetfiRex @SamHopkins Thank you for giving that... Since besides the really wide "there is exactly one maximum", "single peak" is also one meaning presented there...
Mar 12, 2022 at 23:33 comment added Sam Hopkins @JetfiRex: here is a basic reference about unimodal sequences: dedekind.mit.edu/~rstan/pubs/pubfiles/72.pdf.
Mar 12, 2022 at 23:31 comment added Sam Hopkins This is the standard definition of what it means for a sequence of real numbers to be unimodal: mathworld.wolfram.com/UnimodalSequence.html.
Mar 12, 2022 at 23:27 comment added JetfiRex @T.Amdeberhan For the deleted remark, when I tried to read wiki, it is said that "unimodal" is kind-of ambiguous... One interpretation is that unimodal means that "there is exactly one maximum", and the other is "single-peak" or so... Also, could you elaborate more about the content (from "we know this") there...? Could you give a reference (if possible) and how this proved the problem (since... I don't know what is "internal zero")... And also log-concave is really strong result though, at least stronger than single peak. But... I am not sure whether log-concave is a thing that can be proved.

Mar 12, 2022 at 18:38 comment added T. Amdeberhan @SamHopkins: JetfiRex was misled by my remark (deleted now) that said "no guarantee for unique peak". My mistake it was.
Mar 12, 2022 at 18:35 comment added Sam Hopkins @JetfiRex: Isn't "single peak" exactly the same as "unimodal"? If not, you should explain the difference.

Mar 11, 2022 at 22:06 comment added JetfiRex Thank you, that is a nice extension to what I am thinking for ''apply CLT'' in the statement to.''claim that the middle ones are ''somewhat'' single peak.'' Unimodel is kind of close to single peak though...
