Abstract
For a polynomial $P(z)=a_n\prod\limits_{j=1}^n(z-z_j)$ of degree $n$ having all zeros in $|z|\leq k, k\geq 1$, it is known that $$|P'(z)|\geq \dfrac{2}{1+k^n}\sum\limits_{j=1}^n\dfrac{k}{k+|z_j|} \max_{|z|=1}|P(z)|.$$
In this paper we prove an improvement of this inequality and also extend the same to the polar derivative of a polynomial, thereby generalizing some Tur'an-type inequalities for polynomials.
