Inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial (Q5891667)

Summary: For a polynomial \(p(z)\) of degree \(n\), we consider an operator \(D_\alpha\) which map a polynomial \(p(z)\) into \(D_\alpha p(z) : = (\alpha - z)p'(z) + np(z)\) with respect to \(\alpha\). It was proved by \textit{A. Liman} et al. [``Inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial,'', to appear in Complex Anal. Oper. Theory, online first \url{doi:10.1007/s11785-010-0120-3})] that if \(p(z)\) has no zeros in \(|z| < 1\), then for all \(\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb C\) with \(|\alpha| \geq 1, |\beta| \leq 1\) and \(|z| = 1, |zD_\alpha p(z) + n\beta((|\alpha| - 1)/2)p(z)| \leq (n/2)\{[|\alpha + \beta((|\alpha| - 1)/2)| + |z + \beta((|\alpha| - 1)/2)|] \max|_{|z|=1} |p(z)| - [|\alpha + \beta((|\alpha| - 1)/2)| - |z + \beta((|\alpha| - 1)/2)|] \min_{|z|=1} |p(z)|\}\). In this paper we extend the above inequality for the polynomials having no zeros in \(|z| < k\), where \(k \leq 1\). Our result generalizes certain well-known polynomial inequalities.
