No label defined (Q4248958)

Let \((G_n(x))\) be a sequence of polynomials defined by \(G_j(x)= a_j\) \((2-k\leq j\leq 0)\), \(G_1(x)= rx+s\), \(G_n(x)= (px+q) G_{n-1}(x)+ eG_{n-k}(x)\) \((n\geq 2)\), where \(e\in \{-1,+1\}\), \(k\geq 2\) is an integer; \(a_j,r,s,p,q\in \mathbb{C}\), \(n\geq 1\), then \[ |z|\leq \frac{1}{|pr|} \Biggl(\max \biggl(|ps-rq|+|p|\cdot \sum_{j=2-k}^0|a_j|, 2|r|\biggr)+|rq|\Biggr). \] This extends and generalizes theorems for the case \(k=2\) obtained by P. E. Ricci in 1995, and by the author in 1998. In the proof, among others, Gershgorin's theorem on the eigenvalues of matrices is applied.
