Inequalities for a polynomial and its derivative (Q4248975)

The reviewed paper contains the following theorem: Let \(p(z)=a_0+\sum_{\nu = \mu}^n a_\nu z^\nu\) be a polynomial of degree \(n\), such that \(p(z)\neq 0\) in \(| z| <K\), \(K\geq 1\), then for \(0<r\leq \lambda \leq 1\), \[ \max\limits_{| z| =r} | p(z)| \geq {\left( \frac{K^\mu +r^\mu }{K^\mu +\lambda^\mu} \right) }^{n/\mu}\max\limits_{| z| =\lambda}| p(z)| . \] The equality holds for polynomials of the form: \(p(z)={\left( z^\mu +K^\mu \right) }^{n/\mu}\), where \(n\) is a multiple of \(\mu\). The obtained inequality improves some of the results known already in the literature, and the proof is a standard one.
