Some inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial (Q5906905)

Let \(D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P'(z)\) denote the polar differentiation of the polynomial \(P(z)\) of degree \(n\) with respect to a real or complex number \(\alpha.\) Naturally there is defined the \(k\)-th polar derivative \(D_{\alpha_1}D_{\alpha_2}\ldots D_{\alpha_k}P(z).\) For the polynomial \(P(z)\) of degree \(n\) having all its zeros in \(| z| \leq 1,\) the expression \(| D_{\alpha_1}D_{\alpha_2}\ldots D_{\alpha_k}P(z)| (| z| \geq 1, | \alpha_i| \geq 1, 1\leq i\leq k)\) is estimated from below by \(\min_{| z| =1}| P(z).\) In case when \(P(z)\) does not vanish in the disk \(| z| \leq 1,\) the upper bound of \(| D_{\alpha_1}D_{\alpha_2}\ldots D_{\alpha_k}P(z)| (| z| \geq 1, | \alpha_i| \geq 1, 1\leq i\leq k)\) containing \(\max_{| z| =1} | P(z)| \) and \(\min_{| z| =1}| P(z)| \) is given. There are indicated the polynomials for which the obtained estimates turn into equalities. The analogous results for the usual derivative \(P'(z)\) has been obtained earlier in the paper of \textit{A. Aziz} and \textit{Q. M. Dawood} [J. Approximation Theory 54, No. 3, 306-313 (1988; Zbl 0663.41019)]. Reviewer's remark. There is an inaccuracy in the formulation of the theorem 1 (p. 264). It is necessary to remove \(\min_{| z| =1}\) in the expression \(\min_{| z| =1}| D_{\alpha_1}D_{\alpha_2}\ldots D_{\alpha_k}P(z)| .\)
