On a linear homogeneous differential equation of Chebyshev type (Q2811577)

Consider the linear differential equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINEy^{(n)}(z)+ g_{n-1}(z)y^{(n-1)}(z)+\cdots+ g_1(z)y'(z)+ g_0(z)y(z)= 0,\tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where all coefficients are analytic in \(|z|<R\). NEWLINEEquation (1) is called of Chebyshev type, if any solution of (1) not identically zero has at most \(n-1\) zeros. The author derives conditions on the functions \(g_k(z)\) such that (1) is of Chebyshev type.
