On the Location of the Zeros of Certain Polynomials


S. D. Bairagi, Vinay Kumar Jain, T. K. Mishra, L. Saha




We extend Aziz and Mohammad's result that the zeros, of a polynomial $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^na_jz^j$, $ta_j\geq a_{j-1}>0$, $j=2,3,\dots,n$ for certain $t$ (${}>0$), with moduli greater than $t(n-1)/n$ are simple, to polynomials with complex coefficients. Then we improve their result that the polynomial $P(z)$, of degree $n$, with complex coefficients, does not vanish in the disc \[ |z-a e^{ilpha}|<a/(2n);a>0,\max_{|z|=a}|P(z)|=|P(ae^{ilpha})|, \] for $r<a<2,r$ being the greatest positive root of the equation \[ x^n-2x^{n-1}+1=0, \] and finally obtained an upper bound, for moduli of all zeros of a polynomial, (better, in many cases, than those obtainable from many other known results).
