For \(F\in\mathbb{C} [z_1,z_1^{-1}, \dots, z_s,z_s^{-1}]\), the Mahler measure \(M (F)\) is a kind of geometric mean defined on the unit torus in \(\mathbb{C}^s\) and \(|F|\) is the \(L^2\)-norm on the torus. When \(a_1\) and \(a_2\) are certain extreme coefficients of the polynomial \(F\), the author establishes the inequality \[ M(F)^2+ |a_1a_2 |^2M(F)^{-2} \leq|F|^2 \] and specifies when equality occurs. The case \(s=1\) was established by Gonçalvez in 1956 and the author in 1982. The proof builds on work of Ostrowski, Mignotte and Lawton.
