Let p(z) be a polynomial of degree n having no zeros in |z|<1. In this paper, we generalize and extend a well-known result proven by Ankeny and Rivlin for the sth derivative of the polynomial. Furthermore, another well-known result proven by Rivlin is also improved, generalized and extended for the sth derivative of p(z). Our results also give a number of interesting consequences as special cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
