Feb 18, 2020 at 15:46 comment added user64494 @Carlo Beenakker: All that is a too general direction. Can you kindly give an example for e.g. $n=10$? TIA.
Feb 18, 2020 at 14:59 comment added user64494 @Oleg Eroshkin: I am not sure about " non-zero $a_j $ ".
Feb 18, 2020 at 14:58 comment added user64494 @Carlo Beenakker: do you mean $- 4.57903271180618+ 0.785214119641865\,i$ up to the command of Maple RootFinding:-Analytic(sin(z) + 1/2*sin(2*z) + sin((3*z)/2), z = -5 - I .. 0.5 + I)? Can you present your answer for the general case?
Feb 18, 2020 at 14:58 comment added Carlo Beenakker there are complex roots for any $n$; for example, for $n=3$ try $\sin z+\tfrac{1}{2}\sin 2z+\sin(3z/2)$, which vanishes at $z=4.57903+0.785214 i$.

Feb 18, 2020 at 14:43 comment added user64494 @Carlo Beenakker: Thank you. How about $n \ge 3$? I refined my question.
Feb 18, 2020 at 14:22 comment added Carlo Beenakker I think also for $n=2$ there are counter examples: $\sin z+3\sin(z/2)=0$ for $z=2\pi+2i\log(\tfrac{3}{2}+\tfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{5})$
Feb 18, 2020 at 14:16 comment added Oleg Eroshkin Obviously not. Any 3 complex numbers are linearly dependent over reals. So, as long as $n\geq 3$ you can choose non-zero $a_j$ to make your expression zero at any given complex number.
