Covariance of the number of real zeros of a random trigonometric polynomial

For random coefficients aj and bj we consider a random trigonometric polynomial defined as Tn(θ)=∑j=0n{ajcos⁡jθ+bjsin⁡jθ}. The expected number of real zeros of Tn(θ) in the interval (0,2π) can be easily obtained. In this note we show that this number is in fact n/3. However the variance of the abov...
