Abstract

Suppose CCC \subset \mathbb{C} is compact. Let qkq_k be a sequence of polynomials of degree nkn_k \to \infty, such that the locus of roots of all the polynomials is bounded, and the number of roots of qkq_k in any closed set LL not meeting CC is uniformly bounded. Supposing that (qk)k(q_k)_k has an asymptotic root distribution μ\mu we provide conditions on CC and μ\mu assuring the sequence of mmth derivatives (qk(m))k(q_k^{(m)})_k also has asymptotic root distribution μ\mu for any m1m\geq 1. This complements recent results of Totik.
