Location of the critical points of certain polynomials

Somjate Chaiya, Aimo Hinkkanen

Abstract


Let \(\mathbb{D}\) denote the unit disk \(\{z:|z|<1\}\) in the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\). In this paper, we study a family of polynomials \(P\) with only one zero lying outside \(\overline{\mathbb{D}}\).  We establish  criteria for \(P\) to satisfy implying that each of \(P\) and \(P'\)  has exactly one critical point outside \(\overline{\mathbb{D}}\).

Keywords


Polynomial; critical point; anti-reciprocal.
