โฆ Synopsis
We show that, subject to a certain condition, the number of zeros of a spline function is bounded by the number of strong sign changes in its sequence of B-spline coefficients. By writing a general spline function as a sum of functions which satisfy the given condition, we can deduce known bounds on zeros and sign changes and can show that the number of zeros of any spline function is bounded by the number of weak sign changes in its sequence of (B)-spline coefficients, where the zero count is stronger than that previously used.

This paper is concerned with the information introduced by measured zeros from frequency response functions and its application to model assessment and updating. It is demonstrated that the sensitivities of the zeros can be expressed as a linear combination of the sensitivities of the eigenvalues (n
