On the zeros of polynomials with Littlewood-type coefficient constraints (Q5954590)

There are known many results concerning zeros of polynomials with so-called Littlewood type coefficient constraints: \[ p(z)=\sum^n_{j=0} a_j z^j,\;|a_j|\leq 1,\;a_j\in \mathbb{C}. \] In this paper the author presents some new results concerned with such polynomials. In particulary it is proved: Theorem 1. Let \(\alpha\in (0,1)\). Every polynomial \[ p(z)= \sum^n_{j=0} a_jz^j, \quad a_j\in \mathbb{C},\;|a_0|=1,\;|a_j|\leq 1 \] has at most \({2 \over\alpha} \log{1\over \alpha}\) zeros in the disc \(|z|\leq 1-\alpha\). Theorem 2. For every \(\alpha\in (0,1)\) there is a polynomial \[ Q_\alpha(z)= \sum^n_{j=0} a_{j,\alpha} z^j,\;a_{j,\alpha} \in\mathbb{C},\;|a_{j,\alpha} |=1, \] such that \(Q_\alpha\) has at least \(\lfloor{c_2 \over\alpha} \log{1 \over \alpha} \rfloor\) zeros in the disc \(|z|< 1-\alpha\), where \(c_2\) is an absolute constant. Theorem 3. For every \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) there is a polynomial \[ p_n (z)= \sum^n_{j=0} a_{j,n}z^j, \quad a_{j,n}\in \mathbb{C},\;|a_{j,n}|=1, \] such that \(p_n\) has no zeros in the annulus \[ 1-{c_3\over n}\log n<|z |<1+{c_3 \over n}\log n \] where \(c_3\) is an absolute constant.
