Let P(z) be a polynomial of degree
n which does not vanish in ¦
z¦ <
k, where
k > 0. For
k ≤ 1, it is known that
$$mathop {max }limits_{|z| = 1} |P'(z)| leqslant frac{n}{{1 + k^n }}mathop {max }limits_{|z| = 1} |P(z)|$$
, provided ¦P’(z)¦ and ¦Q’(z)¦ become maximum at the same point on ¦z¦ = 1, where
(Q(z) = z^n overline {P(1/bar z)} ). In this paper we obtain certain refinements of this result. We also present a refinement of a generalization of the theorem of Tu?an.
