Abstract
Let p(z) = ?n?=0 a?z? be a polynomial of degree n, M(p,R) := max|z|=R?0 |p(z)|, and M(p,1) := ||p||. Then according to a well-known result of Ankeny and Rivlin, we have for R ? 1, M(p,R) ? (Rn+1/2) ||p||. This inequality has been sharpened among others by Govil, who proved that for R ? 1, M(p,R) ? (Rn+1/2) ||p||-n/2 (||p||2-4|an|2/||p||) {(R-1)||p||/||p||+2|an|- ln (1+ (R-1)||p||/||p||+2|an|)}. In this paper, we sharpen the above inequality of Govil, which in turn sharpens inequality of Ankeny and Rivlin. We present our result in terms of the LerchPhi function ?(z,s,a), implemented in Wolfram's MATHEMATICA as LerchPhi [z,s,a], which can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision, and is suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulations. Also, we present an example and by using MATLAB show that for some polynomials the improvement in bound can be considerably significant.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
