Abstract

Let P(z)P(z) be a polynomial of degree nn having no zero in z<k|z|<k where k1,k\geq 1, then for every real or complex number α\alpha with α1|\alpha|\geq 1 it is known \begin{equation*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|D_\alpha P(z)|\leq n\left(\dfrac{|\alpha|+k}{1+k}\right)\underset{|z|=1}{\max}|P(z)|, \end{equation*} where DαP(z)=nP(z)+(αz)P(z)D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z) denote the polar derivative of the polynomial P(z)P(z) of degree nn with respect to a point αC.\alpha\in\mathbb{C}. In this paper, by a simple method, a refinement of above inequality and other related results are obtained.
