DENSITY OF MARKOV SYSTEMS AND ZEROS OF CHEBYSHEV POLYNOMIALS

We raise and partly answer the question: whether there exists a Markov system with respectto which the zeros of the Chebyshev polynomials are dense, but the maximum length of a zerofree interval of the nth Chebyshev polynomial does not tends to zero. We also draw the conclu-tion that a Markov system, under an additional assumption, is dense if and only if the maxi-mum length of a zero free interval of the nth associated Chebyshev polynomial tends to zero.
