Jul 25, 2019 at 4:41 comment added Michael E2 @JimB The picture is not perfectly clear (to me), and the appearance of the roots k0[[2]], k0[[3]] may even both be spurious. But the roots are definitely there for the exact parameters I used. They are also stable under perturbations of the parameters {A -> 1/2 (1 + eA), B -> 1/100000 (1 + eB), z -> -237/100 (1 + ez), T -> 1/10 (1 + eT)} for eA, eB, ez, eT up to ±10^-3 (k0[[2]] is about $8 \times 10^{-8}$ above $(\pi-1)/2$). I think what is happening is that as T -> 0, both x0[[2]] and x0[[3]] approach $(\pi-1)/2$. But I suspect they are distinct roots for T > 0.
Jul 25, 2019 at 3:36 comment added JimB My last numerical analysis class was 45 years ago so please bear with me. I'm thinking that a zero doesn't occur at k = k0[[2]]. k0[[2]] is essentially $\frac{1}{2} (\pi -1)$ (a point of discontinuity). This is what the following plot tells me: Show[Plot[eq[1, k, 1/10], {k, 1, 1.2}, PlotPoints -> 1000, PlotRange -> {{1.06, 1.08}, {-100, 1000}}, MaxRecursion -> 5, WorkingPrecision -> 100], ListPlot[{{{k0[[2]], 0}, {k0[[2]], 1000}}, {{k0[[3]], 0}, {k0[[3]], 1000}}}, Joined -> True, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green}, PlotLegends -> {"k0[[2]]", "k0[[3]]"}]].
