Abstract
In this paper, we establish the preserving log-convexity of linear transformation associated with p, q-analogue of Pascal triangle, i.e., if the sequence of nonnegative numbers {xn}n is logconvex, then \({y_n} = {\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {\left[ {\frac{n}{k}} \right]} _{pq}}{x_k}\) so is it for q ≠ p ≥ 1.
