Abstract

In this paper, we obtain some results concerning the zeros of a class of generalized derivatives which are analogous to those for the ordinary derivative and the polar derivatives of polynomials.

Notes

  1. Can be easily verified by taking \(f(z)=z^2+4\), \(\psi (w)=\frac{w}{w+1}\) and \(g(w)=5w^2+8w+4\).

  2. This is precisely the reason that the conclusion of Theorem B failed to hold for \(f(z)=z^3-8\) and \(C=\{z\in \hat{\mathbb {C}}:|z|\ge 1\}\).
