1 Introduction and statement of results
Let P(z) be a polynomial of degree n and P′(z) be its derivative. If P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ≤ 1, then it was shown by Turan [1] that
Inequality (1) is best possible with equality for P(z) = αzn + β, where |α| = |β|. As an extension of (1), Malik [2] proved that if P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ≤ K, where K ≤ 1, then
Malik [3] also obtained a generalization of (1) in the sense that the right-hand side of (1) is replaced by a factor involving the integral mean of |P(z)| on |z| = 1. In fact, he proved the following:
Theorem A. If P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0
The result is sharp, and equality in (3) holds for P(z) = (z + 1) n . If we let δ → ∞ in (3), we get (1).
As a generalization of Theorem A, Aziz and Shah [4] proved the following:
Theorem B. If, 1 ≤ μ ≤ n is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0,
Aziz and Ahmad [5] generalized (3) in the sense that Max|z|=1|P′(z)| on |z| = 1 on the right-hand side of (3) is replaced by a factor involving the integral mean of |P′(z)| on |z| = 1 and proved the following:
Theorem C. If P(z) is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1, then for δ > 0, p > 1, q > 1 with,
If we let p → ∞ (so that q → 1) in (5), we get (3).
In this paper, we consider a class of polynomials , 1 ≤ μ ≤ n, having all the zeros in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1, and thereby obtain a more general result by proving the following:
Theorem 1. If, 1 ≤ μ ≤ n is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0, q > 1, p > 1 withand for every complex number λ with |λ| < 1
where m = Min|z|=K|P (z)|.
If we take λ = 0 in Theorem 1, we get the following:
Corollary 1. If, 1 ≤ μ ≤ n is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0, q > 1, p > 1 with, ,
For μ = 1 in Theorem 1, we have the following:
Corollary 2. Ifis a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0, q > 1, p > 1 with,
where m = Min|z|=K|P (z)|.
Remark 1: Since all the zeros of P(z) lie in |z| ≤ K, therefore, , it can be easily verified that
It shows that for λ = 0, Corollary 2 provides a refinement of the result of Aziz and Ahmad [5].
The next result immediately follows from Theorem 1, if we let p → ∞ (so that q → 1)
Corollary 3. If, 1 ≤ μ ≤ n is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for each δ > 0 and for every complex number λ with |λ| < 1
Also if we let δ → ∞ in the Corollary 3 and note that
we get from (9)
If z0 be such that Max|z|=1|P (z)| = |P (z0)|, then from (10), we have
Choosing an argument of λ such that
we get
From inequality (11), we conclude the following:
Corollary 4. If, 1 ≤ μ ≤ n is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk |z| ≤ K, K ≤ 1, then for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, we have
Further, if we take K = t = μ = 1 in the Corollary 4, we get a result of Aziz and Dawood [6].
2. Lemmas
For the proof of this theorem, we need the following lemmas.
The first lemma is due to Qazi [7].
Lemma 1. If is a polynomial of degree n having no zeros in the disk|z| < K, K ≥ 1, then
where .
Lemma 2. If is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in the disk|z| ≤ K ≤ 1, then
where .
Proof of Lemma 2
Since all the zeros of P(z) lie in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1, therefore all the zeros of lie in . Hence, applying Lemma 1 to the polynomial , we get
Or, equivalently
This proves Lemma 2.
Remark 1: Lemma 3 of Govil and Mc Tume [8] is a special case of this lemma when μ = 1.
Proof of Theorem 1
Let z, we have . This gives
Equivalently,
This implies
Let m = Min|z|=K|P (z)|, so that m ≤ |P (z)| for |z| = K. Therefore, for every complex number λ with |λ| < 1, we have |mλ| < |P(z)| on |z| = K. Since P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1, by Rouche's theorem, it follows that all the zeros of the polynomial G(z) = P(z) + λm lie in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1.
If , then by applying Lemma 2 to the polynomial G(z) = P(z) + λm, we have for |z| = 1
This gives
Using (14) in (15), we get
Since P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ≤ K ≤ 1, by Gauss{Lucas theorem so does P′(z). It follows that nQ(z) - zQ′(z), which is simply (see (12))
has all its zeros in |z| ≥ ≥ 1. Hence,
is analytic for |z| < 1, |W(z)| ≤ 1 for |z| = 1 and W(0)=0. Thus, the function
is subordinate to the function
for |z| < 1. Hence, by a property of subordination (for reference see [[9], p. 36, Theorem 1.6.17] or [[10], p. 454] or [11]), we have for each δ > 0 and 0 ≤ θ < 2π,
Also from (17), we have
Therefore,
which implies
Using (14) and the fact that |H(z)| = |G(z)| = |P(z) + λm| for |z| = 1, we get from (20)
Hence, for each δ > 0 and 0 ≤ θ < 2π, we have
This gives with the help of Hölder's inequality for p > 1, q > 1, with and for every δ > 0,
Combining (18) and (22), we get for δ > 0 and 0 ≤ θ < 2π,
This is equivalent to
which proves the desired result.
