Some Results on the Polar Derivative of a Polynomial

Abstract

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ and for any complex number $\alpha$, let $D_{\alpha}P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha -z)P'(z)$ denote the polar derivative of $P(z)$ with respect to $\alpha$. In this paper, we obtain certain inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros. Our results generalize and sharpen some well-known polynomial inequalities.
