- I have been trying to find the roots of the following complex valued dispersion
- relation for its complex roots w:
-
- 1 - b*((j*(m-w)+x)*(1-exp(-x+j*(m-w))) + (-j*(m+w)+x)*(1-exp(-(x+j*(m+w)))) =0
- _____________________________ _______________________________
- (m-w)**2+x**2 (m+w)**2+x**2
-

- I have been able to find roots for x large and positive (dropping the exponent)
- but i don't have any result for a general solution
-
- Another way to write this is to let w = u + j*d where u and d are real. Then
- substituting we obtain two equations for the unknowns u and d. Howver this
- does not really help, all it does is replace the exponential with sinusoids in
- u.
-
- Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I haven't even been able to
- visualize the function. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks
