Abstract

Hardy's ZZ-function Z(t)Z(t) is a real-valued function of the real valuable tt, and its zeros exactly correspond to those of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. In 2012, K.~Matsuoka showed that for any non-negative integer kk, there exists a T=T(k)>0T=T(k)>0 such that Z(k+1)(t)Z^{(k+1)}(t) has exactly one zero between consecutive zeros of Z(k)(t)Z^{(k)}(t) for tTt\ge T under the Riemann Hypothesis. In this article, we extend Matsuoka's theorem to some LL-functions in Selberg class.
