Number of real roots of a random trigonometric polynomial

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2365559





Summary: We study the expected number of real roots of the random equation \[ g_ 1\cos\theta+g_ 2\cos 2\theta+\cdots+g_ n\cos n\theta=K, \] where the coefficients \(g_ j\)'s are normally distributed, but not necessarily all identical. It is shown that although this expected number is independent of the means of \(g_ j\), \(j=1,2,\dots,n\), it will depend on their variances. The previous works in this direction considered the identical distribution for the coefficients.
