1 Introduction  Let Pn denote the class of all complex polynomials P(z) := nj=0 c j z j of degree n. A classical majorization result due to Bernstein is that, for two polynomials P and Q with Q ∈ Pn , deg P ≤ deg Q and Q(z) = 0 for |z| > 1, the majorization |P(z)| ≤ |Q(z)| on the unit circle |z| = 1 implies the majorization of their derivatives |P  (z)| ≤ |Q  (z)|. In particular, this majorization result allows to establish the famous Bernstein inequality [2] for the sup-norm on the unit circle: namely, if P ∈ Pn , then     max P  (z) ≤ n max P(z).

(1.1)

The above inequality (1.1) was proved by Bernstein in 1912. Later in 1985, Frappier et al. [4] strengthened (1.1), by proving that if P ∈ Pn , then     ilπ   max P  (z) ≤ n max  P e n .

Clearly (1.2) represents a refinement of (1.1), since the maximum of |P(z)| on |z| = 1 may be larger than the maximum of |P(z)| taken over the (2n)th roots of unity, as is shown by the simple example P(z) = z n + ia, a > 0. Following the approach of Frappier et al. [4], Aziz [1] showed that the bound in (1.2) can be considerably improved. In fact, Aziz proved that if P ∈ Pn , then for any real number α,  n  max P  (z) ≤ (Mα + Mα+π ) , |z|=1 2

(1.3)

where    Mα = max  P ei(α+2lπ )/n , 1≤l≤n

(1.4)

for all real α. In the same paper, Aziz obtained a lower bound for the maximum of |P  (z)| on |z| = 1, by proving that if P ∈ Pn , then    n    2max P(z) − M0 + Mπ . max P  (z) ≥ |z|=1 2 |z|=1

(1.5)

If we restrict ourselves to the class of polynomials having no zeros in |z| < 1, then (1.1) can be replaced by   n   max P  (z) ≤ max P(z), |z|=1 2 |z|=1

(1.6)

whereas if P(z) has no zeros in |z| > 1, then   n   max P  (z) ≥ max P(z). |z|=1 2 |z|=1

(1.7)

Inequality (1.6) was conjectured by Erdös and later proved by Lax [6], whereas inequality (1.7) is due to Turán [14]. Ideally, it is natural to look for improving results in (1.3) when P(z) does not vanish in the unit disk, and accordingly Aziz [1] proved that if P ∈ Pn , and P(z) = 0 in |z| < 1, then for every real number α, 1  n 2  2 2 Mα + Mα+π max P  (z) ≤ , |z|=1 2

(1.8)

where Mα is defined by (1.4). As a refinement of (1.8), Rather and Shah [13] proved that if P ∈ Pn , and P(z) = 0 in |z| < 1, then for every real number α, 1
