Let \(m\geq 2\) be an integer, and \(a_0,...,a_{[m/2]}\) be real numbers such that \(\sum_{k=0}^{[m/2]}|a_k|\leq 1/2.\) Using Chebyshev transform, the author proves that all zeros of the polynomial \(1+z+...+z^m+\sum_{k=0}^{[m/2]}a_k(z^{m-k}+z^k) (z \in \mathbb{C}),\) lie on the unit circle. The author remarks that this result can be formulated in a more symmetric way. Suppose \[ P(z)= \sum_{k=0}^m A_kz^k, \] where \(A_m\not= 0, A_k=A_{m-k}, k=0,1,\dots,[m/2],\) are real constants. Then all zeros of \(P(z)\) lie on the unit circle if the coefficient condition \[ |A_m|\geq \sum_{k=1}^{m-1} |A_k - A_m| \] holds. This result has also been published in Publ. Math. Debrecen 61, 645-661 (2002; Zbl 1006.30003).
