Schmeisser's strengthening of Sendov's conjecture
Schmeisser's strengthening of Sendov's conjecture
Let be an th-degree polynomial with , let be its multiset of zeros, and let be the radius of the smallest closed disk containing . Let denote the convex hull of the zeros.
Schmeisser's conjecture. For every , the closed disk centered at with radius contains a critical point of .
This strengthens Sendov's conjecture by allowing the center to be any point in the convex hull rather than a zero of . The source attributes it to Schmeisser and gives no resolution.
