Let α>0 and let g∈L1(R) be a continuous function, whose Fourier transform is ĝ(ω)=Ce−γω2 e−2πiδω∏ν=1∞ [Formula presented] where C>0 γ⩾0 δ,δνj∈R ∑ν=1 δν 2<∞ m∈Z+. We prove that its Zak transform Zαg(x,ω)=∑k∈Zg(x+αk)e−2πikαω has only one zero (x, Formula presented] in the fundamental domain [0,α)×0, [Formula presented]. In particular, the result is valid for totally positive functions. Earlier it was known for such functions without the factor e−γω2 . We also establish simplicity of the zero with respect to each variable and give the applications to Gabor analysis. The described class of functions is closed under convolution.
