Abstract. In 1887, D. I. Mendeleev posed the following mathematical problem: for a polynomial f,|f(x)|≤M, x∈[a,b], estimate |f'(x)|. This question has generated a large number of papers on various types of differential inequalities for polynomials. In classical studies, it was assumed that all the zeros of the majorizing polynomial lie in the same region (for example, in the unit circle, the right half-plane, etc.). We remove this requirement by assuming that one zero lies in the left half-plane and the others lie in the right half-plane. This paper obtains an analogue of the Smirnov inequality for such polynomials.
Keywords: polynomials, Smirnov-type inequality, Smirnov operator
