1 Introduction Let P n denote the class of all complex polynomials of degree at most n. Let B ¼ fz; jzj ¼ 1g denotes the unit disk and B and Bþ denote the regions inside and outside the disk B respectively. If P 2 P n , then according to the well known result of Bernstein [4] max jP0 ðzÞj  n max jPðzÞj: z2B

z2B

ð1Þ

Inequality (1) is best possible and equality holds for the polynomial PðzÞ ¼ kzn ;

where k is a complex number. If we restrict ourselves to the class of polynomials having no zeros in B [ B , then it was conjectured by Erdo¨s and later on proved by Lax [6] that max jP0 ðzÞj  z2B

n max jPðzÞj; 2 z2B

ð2Þ

and if P has no zero in B [ Bþ ; then it was proved by Turan [8] that max jP0 ðzÞj  z2B

n max jPðzÞj: 2 z2B

ð3Þ

The inequalities (2) and (3) are also best possible and equality holds for polynomials which have all zeros on B. If P(z) is a polynomial of degree n and a a complex number, then the polar derivative of P(z) with respect to a, denoted by Da PðzÞ is defined by Da PðzÞ ¼ nPðzÞ þ ða  zÞP0 ðzÞ: Clearly Da PðzÞ is a polynomial of degree at most n  1 and it generalizes the ordinary derivative in the sense that lim

Da PðzÞ ¼ P0 ðzÞ: a

As an extension of (1), Aziz and Shah [3] used polar derivative and established that if P(z) is a polynomial of degree n, then for every real or complex number a with jaj [ 1 and for z 2 B, jDa PðzÞj  njaj max jPðzÞj: z2B

ð4Þ

Aziz [1] extended inequality (2) to the polar derivative and proved that if p is a polynomial of degree n having all zero in z 2 B [ Bþ then for a 2 C with jaj  1 max jDa PðzÞj  z2B

nðjaj þ 1Þ max jPðzÞj: z2B 2

ð5Þ

If we divide the two sides of (4) and (5) by jaj and let jaj ! 1, we get inequalities (1) and (2) respectively. Shah [7] extended (3) to the polar derivative and proved the following result: Theorem 1.1 If P 2 P n and has all zeros in z 2 B [ B , then for jaj  1 max jDa PðzÞj  z2B

nðjaj  1Þ max jPðzÞj: z2B 2

ð6Þ

Theorem (1.1) generalizes (3) and to obtain (3), divide both sides of Theorem (1.1) by jaj and let jaj ! 1.
