If all the zeros of $n$th degree polynomials $f(z)$ and $g(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\binom{n}{k}z^k$ respectively lie in the cricular regions $|z|\leq r$ and $|z| \leq s|z-\sigma|$, $s>0$, then it was proved by Marden \cite[p. 86]{mm} that all the zeros of the polynomial $h(z)= \sum_{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k f^{(k)}(z) \frac{(\sigma z)^k}{k!}$ lie in the circle $|z| \leq r ~ \max(1,s)$. In this paper, we relax the condition that $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ are of the same degree and instead assume that $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ are polynomials of arbitrary degree $n$ and $m$ respectively, $m\leq n,$ and obtain a generalization of this result. As an application, we also introduce a linear operator which preserve Bernstein type polynomial inequalities., Comment: Polynomials, Operators, Inequalities in the complex domain

If $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_jz^j$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<1,$ then it was recently proved that for every $p\in[0,+\infty]$ and $s=0,1,\ldots,n-1,$ \begin{align*} \left\|a_nz+\frac{a_s}{\binom{n}{s}}\right\|_{p}\leq \frac{\left\|z+\delta_{0s}\right\|_p}{\left\|1+z\right\|_p}\left\|P\right\|_{p}, \end{align*} where $\delta_{0s}$ is the Kronecker delta. In this paper, we consider the class of polynomials having no zero in $|z|<\rho,$ $\rho\geq 1$ and obtain some generalizations of above inequality., Comment: Polynomials; Visser's inequality; Inequalities in the complex domain

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ then it is known that for $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}$ with $|\alpha|\leq \frac{n}{2},$ \begin{align*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|\left|zP^{\prime}(z)-\alpha P(z)\right|\leq \left|n-\alpha\right|\underset{|z|=1}{\max}|P(z)|. \end{align*} This inequality includes Bernstein's inequality, concerning the estimate for $|P^\prime(z)|$ over $|z|\leq 1,$ as a special case. In this paper, we extend this inequality to $L_p$ norm which among other things shows that the condition on $\alpha$ can be relaxed. We also prove similar inequalities for polynomials with restricted zeros., Comment: L^{p}$-inequalities, Bernstein's inequality, polynomials

The importance of the isospin symmetry and its breaking in elucidating the properties of atomic nuclei is reviewed. The quark mass splitting and the electromagnetic origin of the isospin symmetry breaking (ISB) for nuclear many-body problem is discussed. The experimental data on isobaric analogue states cannot be described only with the Coulomb interaction, and ISB terms in the nucleon-nucleon interaction are needed to discern the observed properties. In the present work, the ISB terms are explicitly considered in nuclear energy density functional and spherical shell model approaches, and a detailed investigation of the analogue states and other properties of nuclei is performed. It is observed that isospin mixing is largest for the $N=Z$ system in the density functional approach., Comment: 44 pages, 19 figures

An experimental investigation of $^{105}$Pd has revealed, for the first time, the existence of two wobbling bands both having one phonon configuration and originating from the coupling of the wobbling phonon to the ground state band and to its signature partner. The doublet one-phonon wobbling bands are, in turn, found to be the signature partner bands. These observations have been drawn from the measured ratios of the inter-band and intra-band gamma transition rates. The model calculations based on the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach have been performed and are found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations. These calculations provide an insight into the nature of the observed structures at a microscopic level.

Using a variety of matrix techniques, the problem of locating the left eigenvalues of the quaternion companion matrices are investigated in this paper. In a recent paper, Dar et al. [6], proved that the zeros of a quaternionic polynomial and the left eigenvalues of corresponding companion matrix are same. In view of this, we use various newly developed matrix techniques to prove various results concerning the location of the zeros of regular polynomials of a quaternionic variable with quaternionic coefficients, which include an extension of the result of A. L. Cauchy as well.

The triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach is generalized to investigate the negative parity band structures in even-even systems. In the earlier version of the TPSM approach, the quasiparticle excitations were restricted to one major oscillator shell and it was possible to study only positive parity states in even-even systems. In the present extension, the excited quasiparticles are allowed to occupy two major oscillator shells, which makes it possible to generate the negative parity states. As a major application of this development, the extended approach is applied to elucidate the negative parity high-spin band structures in $^{102-112}$Ru and it is shown that energies obtained with neutron excitation are slightly lower than the energies calculated with proton excitation. However, the calculated aligned angular momentum ($i_x$) clearly separates the two spectra with neutron $i_x$ in reasonable agreement with the empirically evaluated $i_x$ from the experimental data, whereas proton $i_x$ shows large deviations. Furthermore, we have also deduced the transition quadrupole moments from the TPSM wavefunctions along the negative-parity yrast- and yrare- bands and it is shown that these quantities exhibit rapid changes in the bandcrossing region., Comment: 14 pages, 17 figures

The energies and $B(E2)$ transitions involving the states of the ground- and $\gamma$-bands in thirty transitional and deformed nuclei are calculated using the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach. Systematic good agreement with the existing data substantiates the reliability of the model predictions. The Gamma-rotor version of the collective Bohr Hamiltonian is discussed in order to quantify the classification with respect to the triaxial shape degree of freedom. The pertaining criteria are applied to the TPSM results and the staggering of the energies of the $\gamma$-bands is analyzed in detail. An analog staggering of the intra-$\gamma$ $B(E2,I\rightarrow I-2)$ is introduced for the first time. The emergence of the staggering phenomena in the transitions is explained in the terms of interactions between the bands., Comment: 31 pages, 35 figures

The microscopic origin of the $\gamma$-softness (fluctuations in the triaxiality parameter $\gamma$ of the nuclear shape) observed in atomic nuclei is studied in the framework of the triaxial projected shell model approach, which is based on the deformed mean-field picture with multi-quasiparticle configuration space. It is demonstrated that the coupling to quasiparticle excitations drives the system from a $\gamma$-rigid to a $\gamma$-soft pattern. As an illustrative example for a $\gamma$-soft nucleus, a detailed study has been performed for the $^{104}$Ru nucleus. The experimental energies and a large sample of measured $E2$ matrix elements available for this nucleus are reproduced quite accurately. The shape invariant analysis of the calculated $E2$ matrix elements elucidates the $\gamma$-soft nature of $^{104}$Ru.

In an effort to elucidate the rich band structures observed in odd-neutron systems, triaxial projected shell model approach is extended to include three-quasineutron and five-quasiparticle configurations. This extension makes it possible to investigate the high-spin states up to and including the second band crossing. Detailed investigation has been performed for odd-mass Xe isotopes with the extended basis, and it is shown that character of the band crossing along the yrast line changes with shell filling of the 1h11/2 orbital. Further, it is observed that the three-quasiparticle state that crosses the ground-state configuration, leading to the normal band crossing phenomenon along the yrast line, first crosses the {\gamma} band based on the ground-state configuration at an earlier spin value. This crossing feature explains the occurrence of the signature inversion observed in the {\gamma} bands for some of the studied isotopes.

In the present work, the basis space in the triaxial projected shell model approach is expanded to include three and five quasiparticle configurations for odd-proton systems. This extension allows to investigate the high-spin band structures observed in odd-proton systems up to and including the second band crossing region, and as a first major application of this development, the high-spin properties are investigated for odd-mass $^{125-137}$Pr and $^{127-139}$Pm isotopes. It is shown that band crossings in the studied isotopes have mixed structures with first crossing dominated by one-proton coupled to two-neutron configuration for the lighter isotopes which then changes to three-proton configuration with increasing neutron number. Further, $\gamma$-bands based on quasiparticle states are also delineated in the present work, and it is predicted that these band structures built on three-quasiparticle configurations become favoured in energy for heavier systems in the high-spin region., Comment: 18 pages, 18 figures

For rational functions, we use simple but elegant techniques to strengthen generalizations of certain results which extend some widely known polynomial inequalities of Erd\"os-Lax and Tur\'an to rational functions R. In return these reinforced results, in the limiting case, lead to the corresponding refinements of the said polynomial inequalities. As an illustration and as an application of our results, we obtain some new improvements of the Erd\'os-Lax and Tur\'an type inequalities for polynomials. These improved results take into account the size of the constant term and the leading coefficient of the given polynomial. As a further factor of consideration, during the course of this paper we shall demonstrate how some recently obtained results due to S. L. Wali and W. M. Shah, [Some applications of Dubinin's lemma to rational functions with prescribed poles, J. Math.Anal.Appl.450 (2017) 769-779], could have been proved without invoking the results

The basis space in the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach is generalized for odd-odd nuclei to include two-neutron and two-proton configurations on the basic one-neutron coupled to one-proton quasiparticle state. The generalization allows to investigate odd-odd nuclei beyond the band crossing region and as a first application of this development, high-spin band structures recently observed in odd-odd $^{194-200}$Tl isotopes are investigated. In some of these isotopes, the doublet band structures observed after the band crossing have been conjectured to arise from the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry. The driving configuration of the chiral symmetry in these odd-odd isotopes is one-proton and three-neutrons rather than the basic one-proton and one-neutron as already observed in many other nuclei. It is demonstrated using the TPSM approach that energy differences of the doublet bands in $^{194}$Tl and $^{198}$Tl are, indeed, small. However, the differences in the calculated transition probabilities are somewhat larger than what is expected in the chiral symmetry limit. Experimental data on the transition probabilities is needed to shed light on the chiral nature of the doublet bands., Comment: 11 pages, 17 figures, to appear in EPJA

In this paper we shall use the boundary Schwarz lemma of Osserman to obtain some generalizations and refinements of some well known results concerning the maximum modulus of the polynomials with restricted zeros due to Turan, Dubinin and others.

Recently GM Sofi & SA Shabir [arXive: 1903.01850v2 [math.GM] 6 Mar 2019] made an attempt to prove the Sendov's conjecture. But unfortunately the proof is not correct. In this note, we discuss the fallacy in the proof.

In this paper we obtain some refinements of a well-known result of Enestr\"o-Kakeya concerning the bounds for the moduli of the zeros of polynomials with complex coefficients which improve upon some results due to Aziz and Mohammad, Govil and Rahman and others., Comment: 12 pages

Let $D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z)$ denote the polar derivative of a polynomial $P(z)$ of degree $n$ with respect to a point $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}.$ In this paper, we present a correct proof, independent of Laguerre's theorem, of an inequality concerning the polar derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros recently formulated by K. K. Dewan, Naresh Singh, Abdullah Mir, [Extensions of some polynomial inequalities to the polar derivative, \emph{J. Math. Anal. Appl.,} \textbf{352} (2009) 807-815]., Comment: In this paper, we point out an error in the proof of a result due to K. K.

The electric quadrupole transition rates for the high spin yrast states of 104 Pd have been measured by using the DSAM technique. These values decrease with the increase of angular momentum which is a signature of anti-magnetic rotation. A numerical calcula- tion based on semi-classical particle plus rotor model for anti-magnetic rotation gives a good description of the experimental routhian and the transition rates. This is the first observation of AMR in a nucleus other than Cadmium., Comment: Total 11 pages with 4 figures and 1 table

The electromagnetic transition probabilities of the excited levels for the two nearly degenerate bands of $^{106}$Ag have been measured using the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method. A comparison with the calculated values using triaxial projected shell model approach indicates that these bands originate from two different quasi-particle configurations but constructed from the same mean-field deformation.

If $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree at most $n$ which does not vanish in $|z| < 1$, it was recently formulated by Shah and Liman \cite[\textit{Integral estimates for the family of $B$-operators, Operators and Matrices,} \textbf{5}(2011), 79 - 87]{wl} that for every $R\geq 1$, $p\geq 1$, \[\left\|B[P\circ\sigma](z)\right\|_p \leq\frac{R^{n}|\Lambda_n|+|\lambda_{0}|}{\left\|1+z\right\|_p}\left\|P(z)\right\|_p,\] where $B$ is a $ \mathcal{B}_{n}$-operator with parameters $\lambda_{0}, \lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}$ in the sense of Rahman \cite{qir}, $\sigma(z)=Rz$ and $\Lambda_n=\lambda_{0}+\lambda_{1}\frac{n^{2}}{2} +\lambda_{2}\frac{n^{3}(n-1)}{8}$. Unfortunately the proof of this result is not correct. In this paper, we present a more general sharp $L_p$-inequalities for $\mathcal{B}_{n}$-operators which not only provide a correct proof of the above inequality as a special case but also extend them for $ 0 \leq p <1$ as well., Comment: 16 Pages

Let $\mathscr{P}_n $ denote the space of all complex polynomials $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_{j}{z}^{j}$ of degree $n$ and $\mathcal{B}_n$ a family of operators that maps $\mathscr{P}_n$ into itself. In this paper, we consider a problem of investigating the dependence of $$|B[P\circ\sigma](z)-\alpha B[P\circ\rho](z)+\beta\{(\frac{R+k}{k+r})^{n}-|\alpha|\}B[P\circ\rho](z)| $$ on the maximum and minimum modulus of $|P(z)|$ on $|z|=k$ for arbitrary real or complex numbers $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{C}$ with $|\alpha|\leq 1,|\beta|\leq 1,R>r\geq k,$ $\sigma(z)=Rz,$ $\rho(z)=rz$ and establish certain sharp operator preserving inequalities between polynomials, from which a variety of interesting results follow as special cases., Comment: 15 pages

Let $ P(z) $ be a polynomial of degree $ n $ having all zeros in $|z|\leq k$ where $k\leq 1,$ then it was proved by Dewan \textit{et al} that for every real or complex number $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\geq k$ and each $r\geq 0$ $$ n(|\alpha|-k)\left\{\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\left|P\left(e^{i\theta}\right)\right|^r d\theta\right\}^{\frac{1}{r}}\leq\left\{\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\left|1+ke^{i\theta}\right|^r d\theta\right\}^{\frac{1}{r}}\underset{|z|=1}{Max}|D_\alpha P(z)|. $$ \indent In this paper, we shall present a refinement and generalization of above result and also extend it to the class of polynomials $P(z)=a_nz^n+\sum_{\nu=\mu}^{n}a_{n-\nu}z^{n-\nu},$ $1\leq\mu\leq n,$ having all its zeros in $|z|\leq k$ where $k\leq 1$ and thereby obtain certain generalizations of above and many other known results., Comment: 8 pages
