On the zeros of certain linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials (Q1917927): Difference between revisions

The author derives a mathematical model of a system of masses connected with springs in form of a system of linear differential equations of second order. It is solved by means of the Laplace transform. The eigenfrequencies can be written in terms of the zeros of certain linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials. The number of these zeros is investigated. Under additional restrictions of the parameters it can be proved that all zeros are located in the interval \((-1,1)\).
