On the zeros of the derivatives of certain polynomials

Toufik Zaïmi

Vol. 11 (2022), No. 3, 205–214
Abstract

We show that the derivative of the minimal polynomial of a Salem (resp. Pisot) number α of degree d (resp. d 2) has d 2 zeros with modulus less than 1 and a real zero 𝜃 > 1 satisfying |𝜃 (d 1)αd| < 1d (resp. |𝜃 (d 1)αd| < 1d, except when α belongs to a set of nine explicitly listed elements).

Keywords
Salem polynomials, Pisot polynomials, Gauss–Lucas theorem, Cohn's theorem
