Norms of matrices, numerical range, applications of functional analysis to matrix theory (15A60) Real polynomials: location of zeros (26C10) Zeros of polynomials, rational functions, and other analytic functions of one complex variable (e.g., zeros of functions with bounded Dirichlet integral) (30C15)

Abstract: The Gauss--Lucas and B^{o}cher--Grace--Marden theorems are classical results in the geometry of polynomials. Proofs of the these results are available in the literature, but the approaches are seemingly different. In this work, we show that these theorems can be proven in a unified theoretical framework utilizing matrix analysis (in particular, using the field of values and the differentiator of a matrix). In addition, we provide a useful variant of a well-known result due to Siebeck.
