Abstract
We prove Dual Smale's mean value conjecture for all odd polynomials with nonzero linear term. Precisely, if is an odd polynomial of degree with and , then there exists a critical point of such that This result can be regarded as a dual counterpart of T. W. Ng's theorem on Smale's mean value conjecture for odd polynomials with nonzero linear term [J. Aust. Math. Soc. 75 (2003), 409--411].
