On the result of invariance of the closure set of the real projections of the zeros of an important class of exponential polynomials

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with exponential polynomials \(P(z)=c_1e^{\omega_1 z}+\cdots+c_ne^{\omega_n z},\) \( c_j \in \mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}, \;\;n\geq 2,\) whose real frequencies \(\omega_j\) are linearly independent over the field of rational numbers. The author considers the set \(R_P:=\overline{\{\Re z: \;\;P(z)=0\}},\) and obtains the following pointwise characterization of \(R_P\). A real number \(\sigma \in R_P\) if and only if \[ |c_j|e^{\sigma \omega_ j } \leq \sum_{k=1, k\neq j}^n|c_k|e^{\sigma \omega_k }, \quad j=1,2,\ldots, n. \] As a consequence, the author shows the invariance of the set \(R_P\) with respect to the moduli of \(c_j\), \(j=1,2,\ldots, n\). He proves that \(R_P\) is either the closed interval \([a_P,b_P]\), where \(a_P=\inf\{\Re z: P(z)=0\}\) and \(b_P=\sup \{\Re z: P(z)=0\}\), or the union of at most \(n-1\) disjoint nondegenerate closed intervals. In the latter case, the gaps of \(R_P\) are exclusively produced by the equations \(|c_j|e^{\sigma \omega_ j } = \sum_{k=1, k\neq j}^n|c_k|e^{\sigma \omega_k }, \quad j=2,\ldots, n-1,\) having two solutions. The author also investigates the converse of the result on invariance. For polynomials in normalized form \(P(z)=1+m_1e^{\alpha_1 z}+\cdots+m_{n-1}e^{\alpha_{n-1} z}\), if \(R_P=R_Q\), whether it is true or not that the moduli of the coefficients \(P\) and \(Q\) are the same. He obtains an affirmative answer for the cases \(n=2,3,\) and constructs examples showing that it is not true when \(n>3.\)
