HIGHER DERIVATIVE VERSIONS ON THEOREMS OF S. BERNSTEIN

Abstract

In this paper, we first prove a result concerning the sth derivative where 1 ≤ s < n of the polynomial involving some of the co-efficients of the polynomial. Our result not only improves and generalizes the above inequality, but also gives a generalization to higher derivative of a result due to Dewan and Mir [2] in this direction. Further, a direct generalization of the above inequality for the sth derivative where 1 ≤ s < n is also proved.
