A symmetric decomposition of the Boros-Moll polynomials

Abstract

In their study of a quartic integral, Boros and Moll introduced a special case of Jacobi polynomials, which are now known as the Boros-Moll polynomials. In this paper, we study a symmetric decomposition of Boros-Moll polynomials. We discover that both of the polynomials in the symmetric decomposition are alternatingly gamma-positive polynomials.
