Abstract

In 1976, Suffridge proved an intriguing theorem regarding the convolution of polynomials with zeros only on the unit circle. His result generalizes a special case of the fundamental Grace–Szegö convolution theorem, but so far it is an open problem whether there is a Suffridge-like extension of the general Grace–Szegö convolution theorem. In this paper, we show that Suffridge’s convolution theorem holds for a certain class of polynomials with zeros in the unit disk and thus obtain an extension for one further special case of the Grace–Szegö convolution theorem.
