On the Parameter Spaces of Harmonic Trinomial Equations

Complex Variables 2026-02-13 v1

Abstract

We analyze the parameter space of harmonic trinomial equations of the form zn+m+bzm+cz^{n+m}+b\overline{z}^m+c, where n,mZ+n,m\in\mathbb{Z}^+ are coprime and b,cCb,c\in\mathbb{C}. Using versions of the Bohl and Egerv\'ary theorems for harmonic trinomials, we describe the geometric curves in the parameter space that arise when considering a simple root or a multiple root, or when two distinct roots have the same modulus. In particular, we study the geometric properties of these curves, called trochoids.
