Cauchy type results concerning location of zeros of polynomials (Q2921641)

The authors obtain some new results concerning the location of zeros of polynomials \(p(z)\) (with complex coefficients). They prove the following theorem without any restrictions on the coefficients of a polynomial which includes not only Cauchy's theorem and Eneström-Kakeya's theorem simultaneously but also some other well-known results.NEWLINENEWLINELet \(p(z)=\sum_{i=0}^n a_iz^i\) be a complex polynomial of degree \(n\). If for any \(p>1\), \(q>1\), NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE then all the zeros of \(p(z)\) lie in the closed disk \(K\bigl (0,(1+A_p^q)^\frac {1}{q}\bigr)\), where \(A_p=\min_{-1\leq i\leq n}\{A_{p,i}\}\), NEWLINE\[NEWLINE A_{p,i}=\Bigg \{\sum_{j=1}^n \Big | \frac {a_ia_{n-j}-a_na_{n-j-1}}{a_n^2}\Big | ^p \Bigg \}^{\!\!\frac {1}{p}}\,, \quad \quad a_-1=0, \quad -1\leq i\leq n.

Finally, the authors prove results concerning bounds for the number of zeros for the polynomial \(p(z)\), which generalize some known results.
