Inequalities and Estimates for Complex Expressions
Questions that require establishing bounds, inequalities, or asymptotic estimates for expressions involving complex variables, such as ratio bounds for power series or exponential decay estimates.
We are given a polynomial $P \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ of degree $d$. Show that, for all $z \in \mathbb{C}$: $$|P(z)| \leq \|P\|_{\partial\mathbb{D}} \max\{1, |z|\}^d.$$ One may apply question 3.18 to the polynomials $P(X)$ and $Q(X) = X^d P\left(X^{-1}\right)$.
We fix two non-zero natural integers $n$ and $m$ as well as two polynomials $Q \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ and $R \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively. We introduce the polynomial $P = QR$ and we denote by $\lambda$ its leading coefficient and $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_{n+m}$ its roots counted with multiplicity. Show that there exist $u$ and $v$ in $\partial\mathbb{D}$ such that: $$\|Q\|_{\mathbb{D}} \|R\|_{\mathbb{D}} \leq |\lambda| \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{n+m} \max\left\{\left|u - \alpha_i\right|, \left|v - \alpha_i\right|\right\}.$$
We fix two non-zero natural integers $n$ and $m$ as well as two polynomials $Q \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ and $R \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively. We introduce the polynomial $P = QR$ and we denote by $\lambda$ its leading coefficient and $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_{n+m}$ its roots counted with multiplicity. Deduce from question 3.20 that: $$\|Q\|_{\mathbb{D}} \|R\|_{\mathbb{D}} \leq M(S)$$ where $S$ is the polynomial defined by: $$S(X) = (X-1)^{m+n} P\left(\frac{uX - v}{X - 1}\right)$$
We fix two non-zero natural integers $n$ and $m$ as well as two polynomials $Q \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ and $R \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively. We introduce the polynomial $P = QR$. We set $w = \frac{v}{u}$. Show that: $$M(S) \leq \|P\|_{\mathbb{D}} \exp\left(\frac{n+m}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} \ln\left(\max\left\{\left|e^{i\theta} - 1\right|, \left|e^{i\theta} - w\right|\right\}\right) d\theta\right)$$
We fix two non-zero natural integers $n$ and $m$ as well as two polynomials $Q \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ and $R \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively. We introduce the polynomial $P = QR$. We set $C = \exp\left(\frac{I}{2\pi}\right)$ with: $$I = \int_0^{2\pi} \ln\left(\max\left\{\left|e^{i\theta} - 1\right|, \left|e^{i\theta} + 1\right|\right\}\right) d\theta$$ Using the previous questions, show that: $$\|Q\|_{\mathbb{D}} \|R\|_{\mathbb{D}} \leq C^{n+m} \|P\|_{\mathbb{D}}$$
Let $I = [a,b]$ be a segment of $\mathbb{R}$, and let $n$ and $m$ be two non-zero natural integers. We are given two distinct real numbers $c$ and $d$ and we set: $$J = \begin{cases} [c,d] & \text{if } c < d \\ [d,c] & \text{if } d < c. \end{cases}$$ Let $A \in \mathbb{C}_n[X]$ and $B \in \mathbb{C}_m[X]$ be two non-zero polynomials. Show that there exist polynomials $C \in \mathbb{C}_n[X]$ and $D \in \mathbb{C}_m[X]$ satisfying the following properties: $$\begin{gathered}
\|A\|_I = \|C\|_J, \quad \|B\|_I = \|D\|_J, \quad \|AB\|_I = \|CD\|_J \\
A(a) = C(c), \quad B(b) = D(d).
\end{gathered}$$
Let $I = [a,b]$ be a segment of $\mathbb{R}$, and let $n$ and $m$ be two non-zero natural integers. We recall: $$C_{n,m}^I = \sup\left\{\left.\frac{\|Q\|_I \|R\|_I}{\|QR\|_I}\right\rvert\, Q \in \mathbb{C}_n[X]\backslash\{0\}, R \in \mathbb{C}_m[X]\backslash\{0\}\right\} \in \mathbb{R} \cup \{+\infty\}$$ Deduce from question 4.27 that the quantity $C_{n,m}^I$ does not depend on the segment $I$.
We choose $I = [-1,1]$ and write $C_{n,m}$ instead of $C_{n,m}^I$. We fix an extremal pair $(Q_0, R_0)$, i.e., $Q_0$ and $R_0$ are monic and $\frac{\|Q_0\|_I \|R_0\|_I}{\|Q_0 R_0\|_I} = C_{n,m}$. Let $J$ be a segment contained in $I$ such that $\left\|Q_0\right\|_J = \left\|Q_0\right\|_I$ and $\left\|R_0\right\|_J = \left\|R_0\right\|_I$. Show that: $$\left\|Q_0 R_0\right\|_J = \left\|Q_0 R_0\right\|_I$$
We choose $I = [-1,1]$ and write $C_{n,m}$ instead of $C_{n,m}^I$. We fix an extremal pair $(Q_0, R_0)$. Deduce from questions 4.27 and 4.29 that there exists an extremal pair $(Q_1, R_1)$ such that: $$\left\|Q_1\right\|_I = \left|Q_1(-1)\right| \quad \text{and} \quad \left\|R_1\right\|_I = \left|R_1(1)\right|$$
We choose $I = [-1,1]$ and write $C_{n,m}$ instead of $C_{n,m}^I$. Let $(Q_1, R_1)$ be an extremal pair such that $\left\|Q_1\right\|_I = \left|Q_1(-1)\right|$ and $\left\|R_1\right\|_I = \left|R_1(1)\right|$. Let $n_1$ and $m_1$ be the degrees of $Q_1$ and $R_1$ respectively. We set $Q_2 = X^{n-n_1} Q_1$ and $R_2 = X^{m-m_1} R_1$. Show that $(Q_2, R_2)$ is a good extremal pair, i.e., $Q_2$ and $R_2$ are monic of degrees $n$ and $m$ respectively, $\frac{\|Q_2\|_I \|R_2\|_I}{\|Q_2 R_2\|_I} = C_{n,m}$, and $\|Q_2\|_I = |Q_2(-1)|$, $\|R_2\|_I = |R_2(1)|$.
Let $M \in \mathcal{B}_{n}$. We define $$b^{\prime}(M) = \sup\left\{\varphi_{M}(z); z \in \mathbf{C} \backslash \mathbb{D}\right\}$$ where $\varphi_{M}: z \in \mathbf{C} \backslash \mathbb{D} \longmapsto (|z|-1)\left\|R_{z}(M)\right\|_{\mathrm{op}}$. We fix $r \in ]1, +\infty[$ and $(X,Y) \in \Sigma_{n}^{2}$. For $\rho \in \mathbf{R}^{+*}$, we denote $\mathbb{D}_{\rho} = \{z \in \mathbf{C}; |z| \leq \rho\}$. By using the previous question, integration by parts and inequality (3) from question $17$, show that $$\forall k \in \mathbf{N}, \quad \left|X^{T}M^{k}Y\right| \leq \frac{r^{k+1}}{(k+1)(r-1)} n b^{\prime}(M).$$
We propose to show by contradiction the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right).$$ We suppose that $\mathcal{P}$ is false. Show the existence of a sequence of natural integers $(n_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ and a sequence of complex numbers $(z_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ such that: $$\mathrm{e}^{z_{p}} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \forall p \in \mathbb{N},\, |z_{p}| = (2n_{p}+1)\pi.$$
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $a_{p} = \operatorname{Re}(z_{p})$ and $b_{p} = \operatorname{Im}(z_{p})$. Show that $a_{p} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$ and $|z_{p}| - |b_{p}| \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$.
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$, with $a_p = \operatorname{Re}(z_p)$, $b_p = \operatorname{Im}(z_p)$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $$\varepsilon_{p} = \begin{cases} +1 & \text{if } b_{p} \geqslant 0 \\ -1 & \text{if } b_{p} < 0 \end{cases}$$ By studying $\exp(z_{p} - \mathrm{i}\varepsilon_{p}|z_{p}|)$, reach a contradiction and conclude that $\mathcal{P}$ is true.
For all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, let $$Q_{n}(z) = n! \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm{e}^{z\gamma_{n}(t)}}{(\mathrm{e}^{\gamma_{n}(t)} - 1)\gamma_{n}(t)^{n-1}} \,\mathrm{d}t$$ where $\gamma_{n}(t) = (2n+1)\pi\,\mathrm{e}^{2\mathrm{i}\pi t}$. Using the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right),$$ show that there exist two constants $a, b \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}$ such that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$ and all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, $$|Q_{n}(z)| \leqslant a\,\mathrm{e}^{bn|z|}.$$
