Abstract
Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form where , , are real numbers with , (which do not depend on ). We prove that for every positive measure there always exists a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to such that all the zeros of the polynomial above are real and simple for , where is a positive integer depending on and the 's.
