On the number of roots for harmonic trinomials

Abstract

In this manuscript we study the counting problem for harmonic trinomials of the form aζn+bζm+ca\zeta^n+b\overline{\zeta}^m+c, where n,mNn,m\in \mathbb{N}, n>mn>m, and aa, bb and cc are non-zero complex numbers. As a consequence, we obtain the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and the Wilmshurst conjecture for harmonic trinomials. The proof of the counting problem relies on the Bohl method introduced in Bohl (1908).
