Abstract

Let Pnc{\cal P}_n^c denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most nn with complex coefficients. Let D+:={zC:z1,(z)0}D^+ := \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1, \, \, \Im(z) \geq 0\} be the closed upper half-disk of the complex plane. For integers 0kn0 \leq k \leq n let Fn,kc{\mathcal F}_{n,k}^c be the set of all polynomials PPncP \in {\mathcal P}_n^c having at least nkn-k zeros in D+D^+. Let fA:=supzAf(z)\|f\|_A := \sup_{z \in A}{|f(z)|} for complex-valued functions defined on ACA \subset {\Bbb C}. We prove that there are absolute constants c1>0c_1 > 0 and c2>0c_2 > 0 such that c1(nk+1)1/2infPP[1,1]P[1,1]c2(nk+1)1/2c_1 \left(\frac{n}{k+1}\right)^{1/2} \leq \inf_{P}{\frac{\|P^{\prime}\|_{[-1,1]}}{\|P\|_{[-1,1]}}} \leq c_2 \left(\frac{n}{k+1}\right)^{1/2} for all integers 0kn0 \leq k \leq n, where the infimum is taken for all 0≢PFn,kc0 \not\equiv P \in {\mathcal F}_{n,k}^c having at least one zero in [1,1][-1,1]. This is an essentially sharp reverse Markov-type inequality for the classes Fn,kc{\mathcal F}_{n,k}^c extending earlier results of Tur\'an and Komarov from the case k=0k=0 to the cases 0kn0 \leq k \leq n.
