Abstract. It was first conjecture and latter proved that the inertia of a certain antipodal tridiagonal pattern that depends on a real parameter \epsilon attains a certain ordered triple for all sufficiently small \epsilon>0. In this note, we show how to compute upper bounds on \epsilon using Chebyshev polynomials.
