Abstract

In this paper, we mainly determine the zero inclusion regions of certain harmonic trinomials and illustrate our results with several examples. It is considered to be the harmonic version of locating the zeros of harmonic trinomials, compared with the results on the location of the zeros of analytic trinomials obtained by Melman.
