Extract

In a recent paper on the behaviour of a system of disk dynamos(1), a problem of a purely algebraic character arose. The problem is to find all the real solutions of the non-linear, inhomogeneous system of 2n equations

where x0 = xn and the parameter ρ is real and not zero, but otherwise arbitrary. The real solutions were correctly given in (1), but the proof that they are the only real solutions was incomplete. A different, and complete, proof is given here.
