A topological bound on the number of distinct zeros of an analytic function

Robert F. Brown

Vol. 118 (1985), No. 1, 53–58
Abstract

An old theorem concerning the number of fixed points of a map on an annulus is used to obtain a lower bound for the number of distinct zeros of an analytic function. When die function is a polynomial, the result furnishes sufficient conditions on the coefficients so that the polynomial has at least a specific number of zeros.
