Miller's quadratic refinement conjecture for Sendov's problem
Miller's quadratic refinement conjecture for Sendov's problem
Let be the set of polynomials of degree at least with complex coefficients, all roots in the unit disk and at least one root at . For , let be the distance between and the closest root of , and define
By rotation, assume . Miller's quadratic refinement conjecture. For every ,
This strengthens Sendov's conjectured bound while preserving equality at the endpoints and . The paper proves it for polynomials of degree or , for real polynomials of degree , and in several further special cases, but leaves the general assertion open.
