Abstract: This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions gives rise to a sequence of polynomials ${P_m(z)}_{m=0}^{infty}$ that is eventually hyperbolic. Moreover, the real zeros of the polynomials $P_m(z)$ form a dense subset of an interval $Isubsetmathbb{R}^{+}$, whose length depends on the particular values of the parameters in the generating function.

Review text

The authors study the location of the roots of the polynomials \(P_m(z)\) generated by the relation \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} P_m(z)t^m = 1/((1-t)^n+zt^r)\) for some integers \(n\), \(r\). They show that for large \(m\) the roots of \(P_m(z)\) form a dense subset of the real axis. They conjecture that the polynomials \(P_m(z)\) are actually hyperbolic (i.e., they have only real roots) for all \(m\), not only for large \(m\).
