Sharp extensions of Bernstein's inequality to rational spaces (Q4339986)

Sharp extensions of some classical polynomial inequalities of Bernstein are established for rational function spaces on the unit circle, on \(K=\mathbb{R}\pmod{2\pi}\), on \([-1,1]\) and on \(\mathbb{R}\). The key result is the establishment of the inequality \[ |f'(z_0)|\leq\max \Biggl\{\sum_{\substack{ j=1\\ |a_j|>1}}^n{|a_j|^2-1\over|a_j-z_0|^2},\;\sum_{\substack{ j=1\\ |a_j|<1}}^n {1-|a_j|^2\over|a_j-z_0|^2}\Biggr\}|f|_{\partial D} \] for every rational function \(f=p_n/q_n\), where \(p_n\) is a polynomial of degree at most \(n\) with complex coefficients and \[ q_n(z)= \prod^n_{j=1} (z-a_j) \] with \(|a_j|\neq 1\) for each \(j\), and for every \(z_0\in\partial D\), where \(\partial D-\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|=1\}\). The above inequality is sharp at every \(z_0\in\partial D\).
