Abstract
The number of zeros of a one-parameter family of rational harmonic trinomials is studied. It is considered to be as an analogue work on that of corresponding harmonic trinomials investigated recently by Brilleslyper et al. and Brooks et al. Note that their proofs rely on the Argument Principle for Harmonic Functions and involve finding the winding numbers about the origin of a hypocycloid. Our proof is similar by means of Poincaré index and the geometry of epicycloid.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
