 Title: Generalization of a Conjecture in the Geometry of Polynomials Authors: Sendov, Bl. Keywords: Geometry of PolynomialsGauss-Lucas TheoremZeros of PolynomialsCritical PointsIlieff-Sendov Conjecture Issue Date: 2002 Publisher: Institute of Mathematics and Informatics Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Citation: Serdica Mathematical Journal, Vol. 28, No 4, (2002), 283p-304p Abstract: In this paper we survey work on and around the following conjecture, which was first stated about 45 years ago: If all the zeros of an algebraic polynomial p (of degree n ≥ 2) lie in a disk with radius r, then, for each zero z1 of p, the disk with center z1 and radius r contains at least one zero of the derivative p′ . Until now, this conjecture has been proved for n ≤ 8 only. We also put the conjecture in a more general framework involving higher order derivatives and sets defined by the zeros of the polynomials.
