The universal quadratic refinement of Sendov's conjecture
Let , let be the set of polynomials of degree at least with complex coefficients, all roots in the closed unit disk, and at least one root at , and let be the distance from to the closest root of . The universal quadratic refinement conjecture. There is a constant such that, for every ,
This is the paper's experimentally motivated conjecture for arbitrary degree and arbitrary root configurations, and would provide a uniform strengthening of Sendov's conjecture. It remains open.
