Zeros of nonpositive type of generalized Nevanlinna functions with one negative square

A generalized Nevanlinna function $Q(z)$ with one negative square has precisely one generalized zero of nonpositive type in the closed extended upper halfplane. The fractional linear transformation defined by $Q_{\tau }(z)=(Q(z)-\tau )\mathrm{/}(1+\tau Q(z))$, $\tau \in \mathbb{R}\cup \{\mathrm{\infty }\}$, is a generalized Nevanlinna function with one negative square. Its generalized zero of nonpositive type $\alpha (\tau )$ as a function of $\tau$ defines a path in the closed upper halfplane. Various properties of this path are studied in detail.
