A conjecture of Sendov states that if a polynomial has all its roots in the unit disk and if $\beta$ is one of those roots, then within one unit of $\beta$ lies a root of the polynomial's derivative. If we define $r(\beta)$ to be the…

Define $S(n,\beta)$ to be the set of complex polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ with all roots in the unit disk and at least one root at $\beta$. For a polynomial $P$, define $|P|_\beta$ to be the distance between $\beta$ and the closest root…

Sendov's conjecture asserts that if a complex polynomial $f$ of degree $n \geq 2$ has all of its zeroes in closed unit disk $\{ z: |z| \leq 1 \}$, then for each such zero $\lambda_0$ there is a zero of the derivative $f'$ in the closed unit…

Sendov's conjecture states that if all the zeroes of a complex polynomial $P(z)$ of degree at least two lie in the unit disk, then within a unit distance of each zero lies a critical point of $P(z)$. In a paper that appeared in 2014,…

The Sendovs conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p(z) lie in the closed unit disk, then there must be a critical point of p(z) within unit distance of each zero. The conjecture has been proved to be true for many special…

The Sendov conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p lie in the closed unit disk then there must be a zero of p ' within unit distance of each zero. In this paper we give a partial result when p has simple zeros.

Sendov conjecture tells that if $P$ denotes a complex polynomial having all his zeros in the closed unit disk and $a$ denote a zero of $P$, the closed disk of center $a$ and radius 1 contains a zero of the derivative $P'$. The main result…

In this paper we first prove that a simple root of a polynomial satisfies the Sendov's conjecture. As the multiple roots trivially satisfy the Sendov's conjecture we conclude that the Sendov's conjecture holds true.

For a real polynomial $p = \sum_{i=0}^{n} c_ix^i$ with no negative coefficients and $n\geq 6$, let $\beta (p) = \inf_{i=1}^{n-1} c_i^2/c_{i+1}c_{i-1}$ (so $\beta (p) \geq 1$ entails that $p$ is log concave). If $\beta(p) > 1.45...$, then…

The Sendov conjecture asserts that if $p(z) = \prod_{j=1}^{N}(z-z_j)$ is a polynomial with zeros $|z_j| \leq 1$, then each disk $|z-z_j| \leq 1$ contains a zero of $p'$. Our purpose is the following: Given a zero $z_j$ of order $n \geq 2$,…

Let S(n) be the set of all polynomials of degree n with all roots in the unit disk, and define d(P) to be the maximum of the distances from each of the roots of a polynomial P to that root's nearest critical point. In this notation,…

We conjecture that the roots of a degree-n univariate complex polynomial are located in a union of n-1 annuli, each of which is centered at a root of the derivative and whose radii depend on higher derivatives. We prove the conjecture for…

Let S(n,0) be the set of monic complex polynomials of degree $n\ge 2$ having all their zeros in the closed unit disk and vanishing at 0. For $p\in S(n,0)$ denote by $|p|_{0}$ the distance from the origin to the zero set of $p'$. We…

Let $p(x)=a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_n x^n$ be a polynomial with all roots real and satisfying $x \leq -\delta$ for some $0<\delta <1$. We show that for any $0 < \epsilon <1$, the value of $p(1)$ is determined within relative error $\epsilon$…

Closely following recent ideas of J. Borcea, we discuss various modifications and relaxations of Sendov's conjecture about the location of critical points of a polynomial with complex coefficients. The resulting open problems are formulated…
