Inequalities For The Growth Of Rational Functions With Prescribed Poles

Abstract

Let $\mathcal R_{n}$ be the set of all rational functions of the type $r(z) = f(z)/w(z)$, where $f(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$ and $w(z) = \prod_{j=1}^{n}(z-β_j)$, $|β_j|>1$ for $1\leq j\leq n$. In this work, we investigate the growth behavior of rational functions with prescribed poles by utilizing certain coefficients of the polynomial $f(z)$. The results obtained here not only refine and strengthen the findings of Rather et al. \cite{NS}, but also generalize recent growth estimates for polynomials due to Dhankhar and Kumar \cite{KD} to the broader setting of rational functions with fixed poles. Additionally, we establish corresponding results for such rational functions under suitable restrictions on their zeros.
