Title
A Proof of a Conjecture of Knuth
Abstract
From numerical experiments, D. E. Knuth conjectured that 0 < Dn+4 < Dn for a combinatorial sequence (Dn) defined as the dierence Dn = Rn ¡ Ln of two definite hypergeometric sums. The conjecture implies an identity of type Ln = bRnc, involving the floor function. We prove Knuth's conjecture by applying Zeilberger's algorithm as well as classical hypergeometric machinery.
