contents Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials $(p_n)_n$ with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form $$ q_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^Kγ_jp_{n-j}(x),\quad n\ge K, $$ where $γ_j$, $j=0,\cdots ,K$, are real numbers with $γ_0=1$, $γ_K\not =0$ (which do not depend on $n$). We prove that for every positive measure $μ$ there always exists a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to $μ$ such that all the zeros of the polynomial $q_n$ above are real and simple for $n\ge n_0$, where $n_0$ is a positive integer depending on $K$ and the $γ_j$'s.

Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials $(p_n)_n$ with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form $$ q_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^Kγ_jp_{n-j}(x),\quad n\ge K, $$ where $γ_j$, $j=0,\cdots ,K$, are real numbers with $γ_0=1$, $γ_K\not =0$ (which do not depend on $n$). We prove that for every positive measure $μ$ there always exists a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to $μ$ such that all the zeros of the polynomial $q_n$ above are real and simple for $n\ge n_0$, where $n_0$ is a positive integer depending on $K$ and the $γ_j$'s.
