Let $\\rho_+(f)$ and $\\rho_-(f)$ be the fractions of the unit circle that $f$ sends to the right($\\operatorname{Re} f(z) > 0$) and left($\\operatorname{Re} f(z) < 0$) half-planes, respectively. Note that $\\operatorname{Re} f(z)$ is a real trigonometric polynomial, whose allowed set of frequencies is $D$. Turns out that $\\min(\\rho_+(f), \\rho_-(f))$ is always bounded below by a numerical characteristic $\\alpha(D)$ of our set $D$ that arises from a seemingly unrelated combinatorial problem. Furthermore, this result could be generalized to power series, functions of several variables and multivalued algebraic functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-10T15:10:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lower bounds", "negative parts", "real trigonometric polynomial", "natural numbers", "power series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
