Could someone help me with the following question? This is equivalent to my previous question A conjecture about the barycenter of a polytope

Let D be a differential operator defined as follows, D:=1ijn(xi+xi+1+xj)2. Let fj(x1,,xn), j=1,,n, be linear functions defined as follows. f1(x1,,xn)==2x1x2,f2(x1,,xn)=2x2x3x1,fj(x1,,xn)=2xjxj+1xj1,fn1(x1,,xn)=2xn1xnxn2,fn(x1,,xn)=2xnxn1.

Consider the following functions, J(y1,,yn,x1,,xn):=ni=1(k=1ykik!fk1i),J1(y1,,yn,x1,,xn):=(k=2yk1k!fk21)ni=2(k=1ykik!fk1i),Jj(y1,,yn,x1,,xn):=(k=2ykjk!fk2j)ni=1ij(k=1ykik!fk1i),Jn(y1,,yn,x1,,xn):=(k=2yknk!fk2n)n1i=1(k=1ykik!fk1i).

Take (¯y1,,¯yi,,¯yn)=(n+1,,i(n+1i)+1,,n+1).

I am curious if the following inequality is true. D(JJj)|(y1,,yn,x1,,xn)=(¯y1,,¯yi,,¯yn,0,0,,0)>0,j=1,2,,n.

Thanks in advance!
