Integral inequalities for algebraic polynomials with a restriction on their zeros (Q1180808): Difference between revisions

The author continues his work on generalizations of Bernstein's inequality begun in [Math. USSR, Izv. 18, 1-17 (1982); Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.Mat. 45, 3-22 (1981; Zbl 0517.42001)]. If \(P(z)=\sum^ n_{k=0}c_ kz^ k\), he considers linear operators \(\Lambda P(z)=\sum^ n_{k=0}\gamma_ kc_ kz^ k\), where it is assumed that \(\Lambda(z)=\sum^ n_{k=0}{n\choose k}\gamma_ kz^ k\) has all its zeros in the closed unit disk \(\{| z|\leq 1\}\). Suppose in addition that \(\varphi\) is a nondecreasing function defined on \((0,\infty)\) which is of the form \(\varphi(u)=\psi(\log u)\), where \(\psi\) is convex and nondecreasing on \((-\infty,\infty)\), and that \(P\) has no zeros in \(\{| z|<1\}\), then \[ \int^{2\pi}_ 0\int^{2\pi}_ 0\varphi(| (1+e^{i\theta}\Lambda P(e^{it})|)\;dt\;d\theta\leq\int^{2\pi}_ 0\int^{2\pi}_ 0\varphi(|(\gamma_ 0+e^{ i\theta}\gamma_ n)P(e^{it})|)\;dt\;d\theta. \] The inequality is best possible and equality is attained by \(c(z^ n+e^{i\alpha})\) (conditions are given under which these are the only extremals.) The same result holds when the conditions on the zeros of \(P(z)\) and \(\Lambda(z)\) are interchanged. As a corollary, he obtains, among other results, the following: If \(0\leq p\leq \infty\), if \(|\alpha|<| n-\alpha|\), and if \(P\) has no zeros in \(\{| z|<1\}\), then \[ \| zP'(z)-\alpha P(z)\|_ p\leq\|(n-\alpha)z-\alpha\|_ p\;\| P\|_ p/\| 1+z\|_ p. \] This is best possible with extremals as above (these being the only extremals if \(0<p<\infty\).) If \(|\alpha|>| n- \alpha|\), this inequality holds for polynomials \(P\) all of whose zeros lie in \(\{| z|\leq 1\}\). The only possibly troublesome misprint is on the 8th line of page 16 where ``\(P=P^*\)'' should read ``\(P=P^ \infty\)''.
