The z-zeros of the modified Bessel function of the third kind Kν(z), also known as modified Hankel function or Macdonald function, are considered for arbitrary complex values of the order ν. Approximate expressions for the zeros, applicable in the cases of very small or very large |ν|, are given. The behaviour of the zeros for varying |ν| or arg ν, obtained numerically, is illustrated by means ...

Schur studied limits of the arithmetic means sn of zeros for polynomials of degree n with integer coefficients and simple zeros in the closed unit disk. If the leading coefficients are bounded, Schur proved that lim supn→∞ |sn| ≤ 1− √ e/2. We show that sn → 0, and estimate the rate of convergence by generalizing the Erdős-Turán theorem on the distribution of zeros. To cite this article: I. E. P...

In standard MIMO LTI continuous-time systems S(A,B,C) the classical notion of the Smith zeros does not characterize fully the output-zeroing problem nor the zero dynamics. The question how this notion can be extended and related to the state-space methods is discussed. Nothing is assumed about the relationship of the number of inputs to the number of outputs nor about the normal rank of the und...

We apply Zeilberger’s algorithm to generate relations of finite-type necessary to obtain inner bounds for the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomial sequences with 3F2 hypergeometric representations. Using this method, we improve previously obtained upper bounds for the smallest and lower bounds for the largest zeros of the Hahn polynomials and we identify inner bounds for the extreme zeros of ...

We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matching polynomials, Narayana polynomials and Eulerian polynomials. We also settle certain conjectures of Stahl on genus polynomials by proving them for cer...

Eichler integrals play an integral part in the modular parametrizations of elliptic curves. In her master’s thesis, Kodgis conjectures several dozen zeros of Eichler integrals for elliptic curves with conductor ≤ 179. In this paper we prove a general theorem which confirms many of these conjectured zeros. We also provide two ways to generate infinite families of elliptic curves with certain zer...

In this paper, we present and analyse fourth order method for finding simultaneously multiple zeros of polynomial equations. S. M. Ilič and L. Rančič modified cubically convergent Ehrlich Aberth method to fourth order for the simultaneous determination of simple zeros [5]. We generalize this method to the case of multiple zeros of complex polynomial equations. It is proved that the method has f...
