The Stirling numbers of the first kind, SNk, and of the second kind, σNk, are shown to be strongly logarithmically concave as functions of k for fixed TV. This result is stronger than the unimodality conjecture which was heretofore proved only for σNk (Harper). We also introduce a generating function for the σNk which is different from the conventional one but which has a relatively simple closed form expression.
