Abstract
Let \(p(z)=z^n+a_{n-1}z^{n-1}+a_{n-2}z^{n-2}+\cdots +a_1z+a_0\) be a complex polynomial with \(a_0\ne 0\) and \(n\ge 3\). Several new upper bounds for the moduli of the zeros of p are developed. In particular, if \(\alpha =\sqrt{\sum _{j=0}^{n-1}|a_j|^2}\) and z is any zero of p, then we show that
which is sharper than the existing bound, given as,
if and only if \(2|a_{n-2}|< \sqrt{\sum _{j=0}^{n-1}|a_j|^2}-\sqrt{\sum _{j=0}^{n-2}|a_j|^2}.\) The upper bounds obtained here enable us to describe smaller annuli in the complex plane containing all the zeros of p.
