Abstract:

Let P(z) and P(z) be polynomials of the same degree. We consider the equations u´´ = P(z)u and u´´ = P(z)u (z∈C) whose solutions are u(z) and u(z), respectively. Let zk(u) and zk(u), k = 1, 2, … , be the zeros of u(z) and u(z), respectively. We derive bounds for the quantity

supjinfk |1/zk(u)-1/zk(u)|.

Key words: Complex differential equation, zeros of solutions, perturbation of zeros
