Abstract

We study the expected number of real roots of the random equation g1cosθ+g2cos2θ+…+gncosnθ=K where the coefficients gj's are normally distributed, but not necessarily all identical. It is shown that although this expected number is independent of the means of gj, (j=1,2,…,n), it will depend on their variances. The previous works in this direction considered the identical distribution for the coefficients.
