β¦ Synopsis
We consider the roots of two families of polynomials which can be derived as the characteristic polynomials of some (generalized) transfer matrices. We study the possible multiplicities and the number of real roots. Moreover, the number of roots lying inside the unit disk is determined, and bounds for their modulus and for the modulus of the other roots are given.

We consider matrices containing two diagonal bands of positive entries. We show that all eigenvalues of such matrices are of the form rΞΆ , where r is a nonnegative real number and ΞΆ is a pth root of unity, where p is the period of the matrix, which is computed from the distance between the bands. We
