The Hawaiian conjecture on chords of the garden of a logarithmic derivative
The Hawaiian conjecture on chords of the garden of a logarithmic derivative
Let be a real polynomial of degree , and let be the garden of the rational function . A chord of is a chord in this garden; the source also notes that all zeros of lie on .
Hawaiian conjecture. Each chord of contains at least one nonreal zero of .
The conjecture is formulated as a topological strengthening of the zero bound for the Wronskian : the endpoints of the chords are the real zeros of that Wronskian. The source states that this conjecture would immediately imply the Hawaii conjecture, but gives no resolution.
