Inequalities for Polynomial Zeros

  • Chapter
Survey on Classical Inequalities

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 517))

Abstract

This survey paper is devoted to inequalities for zeros of algebraic polynomials. We consider the various bounds for the moduli of the zeros, some related inequalities, as well as the location of the zeros of a polynomial, with a special emphasis on the zeros in a strip in the complex plane.
