A combinatorial proof of the log-concavity of a famous sequence counting permutations
The electronic journal of combinatorics, The Stanley Festschrift volume, Tome 11 (2004) no. 2
We provide a combinatorial proof for the fact that for any fixed $n$, the sequence $\{i(n,k)\}_{0\leq k\leq {n\choose 2}}$ of the numbers of permutations of length $n$ having $k$ inversions is log-concave.
