Reciprocal-conjugate root pairing
ID: reciprocal-conjugate-root-pairing
For a nonzero real-on-the-circle trigonometric polynomial of actual order , the polynomial satisfies . Its constant term is the nonzero conjugate of its leading coefficient. Hence its nonzero roots of a polynomial occur in pairs with the same multiplicity of a root. The coefficient reversal and complex conjugation preserve the exponents of the paired factors. Fixed roots of a polynomial on the unit circle require nonnegativity, rather than this symmetry alone, to have even multiplicity.
