Summary

In this paper, we establish the sharpness of a theorem concerning zero-free parabolic regions for certain sequences of polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation. Similarly, we establish the sharpness of a zero-free sectorial region for certain sequences of Padé approximants toe z.
