  Abstract:
Let ∆ be a (d−1)-dimensional simplicial complex and let h(∆) = (h0,h1,…,hd) be its h-vector. A recent result of Murai and Terai guarantees that if ∆ satisfies Serre's condition (Sr), then (h0,h1,…,hr) is an M-vector and hr+hr+1+…+hd is nonnegative. In this article, we extend the result of Murai and Terai by giving r extra necessary conditions. More precisely, we prove that if ∆ satisfies Serre's condition (Sr), then ((i) || (i))hr+((i+1) || (i))hr+1+…+((i+dr) || (i))hd, 0 ≤ ird, are all nonnegative.
