The complex Gauss–Lucas-type conjecture for derivative convolutions

About 9 years old · traced to

Let p∈N∗p\in\mathbb{N}^* and let P,Q∈C[X]P,Q\in\mathbb{C}[X] have degree pp. Derivative-convolution Gauss–Lucas conjecture. The roots of

∑k=0pP(k)Q(p−k)\sum_{k=0}^p P^{(k)}Q^{(p-k)}

lie in the convex hull of the roots of PP and QQ. This is proposed as a natural complex analogue of the derivative-convolution real-rootedness conjecture and would imply that conjecture. No proof or disproof is given in the paper.
