Distinct positive zeros of the component polynomials in the general case
Distinct positive zeros of the component polynomials in the general case
Let be a nonnegative integer, let be real numbers not all zero, and define

Distinct-zeros conjecture. The positive zeros of and are distinct.
This is a polynomial formulation of the problem of distinguishing asymptotic directions of the zero sets of and in the general configuration of point charges. The source gives no proof or resolution.
