Author: Dimitar K. Dimitrov Title: A Refinement of the Gauss-Lucas Theorem Journal: Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 126(1998), 2065-2070.
The classical Gauss - Lucas Theorem states that all the critical points
(zeros of the derivative) of a nonconstant polynomial p lie in the convex
hull X of the zeros of p. It is proved that,
actually, a subdomain of X contains the critical points
of p.
Keywords: Nontrivial critical point of a polynomial.
