Abstract

The celebrated Gauss-Lucas theorem states that all the roots of the derivative of a complex non-constant polynomialpplie in the convex hull of the roots ofpp, called the Lucas polygon ofpp. We improve the Gauss-Lucas theorem by proving that all the nontrivial roots ofp′p’lie in a smaller convex polygon which is obtained by a strict contraction of the Lucas polygon ofpp.
