Abstract
In this article, we consider the reciprocal antisymmetric polynomial \begin{displaymath} P(z) = \sum_{j = 0}^{s}(-1)^jγ_j\pa{z^j - z^{N + s + 1 - j}}, \ γ_0 = 1. \end{displaymath} It is shown that if all the zeros of $P(z)$ are located on the unit circle, that $\displaystyle\abs{γ_j} \leq {s \choose j}\pa{N + s + 1 \choose j}^{-1}$, $j = 1,\ldots,s$; moreover, these estimates cannot be improved in the general case. Factorization formulas for extremal polynomials are given: \begin{eqnarray*} \lefteqn{\sum_{j = 0}^{s}(-1)^j{s \choose j}\pa{N + s + 1 \choose j}^{-1}\pa{z^j - z^{N + s + 1 - j}}} \\ &=& (1 - z)^{2s + 1} \prod_{j = 1}^{\br{\frac{N - s}{2}}} \br{z^2 + 1 + 2z\pa{1 - 2(ν_j)^2}} \begin{cases} (1 + z), & N - s \mbox{ is odd} \\ 1, & N - s \mbox{ is even} \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*} where $\cb{ν_j}_{j = 1}^{\br{\frac{N - s}{2}}}$ is the set of positive zeros of the polynomial $U_N^{(s)}(z)$ given $\displaystyle U_N(z) = \sum_{j = 0}^{\br{\frac{N}{2}}} (-1)^j \frac{(N - j)!}{j!(N - 2j)!}(2z)^{N - 2j}$ are the Chebyshev Polynomials of the Second Kind and $U_N^{(s)}(z)$ is the $s$th derivative of $U_N(z)$. As an application of the results, formulas were obtained expressing the derivatives of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind through linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind: \begin{displaymath} \frac{2^s}{s!}(1 - z^2)^sU_N^{(s)}(z) = (-1)^s \sum_{j = 0}^{s}(-1)^j{N-j \choose N-s} {N+s+1 \choose j} U_{N + s - 2j}(z). \end{displaymath}
