Let || · || be the uniform norm in the unit disk. We study the quantities Mn (α) := inf (||zP(z) + α|| - α) where the infimum is taken over all polynomials P of degree n - 1 with ||P(z)|| = 1 and α > 0. In a recent paper by Fournier, Letac and Ruscheweyh (Math. Nachrichten 283 (2010), 193-199) it was shown that infα>0Mn (α) = 1/n. We find the exact values of Mn (α) and determine corresponding extremal polynomials. The method applied uses known cases of maximal ranges of polynomials.

Let $\parallel ·\parallel$ be the uniform norm in the unit disk. We study the quantities $M_n\left(\alpha \right):=inf(\parallel zP\left(z\right)+\alpha \parallel -\alpha )$ where the infimum is taken over all polynomials $P$ of degree $n-1$ with $\parallel P\left(z\right)\parallel =1$ and $\alpha >0$. In a recent paper by Fournier, Letac and Ruscheweyh (Math. Nachrichten 283 (2010), 193-199) it was shown that ${inf}_{\alpha >0}{M}_n\left(\alpha \right)=1/n$. We find the exact values of $M_n\left(\alpha \right)$ and determine corresponding extremal polynomials. The method applied uses known cases of maximal ranges of polynomials.

We estimate the Gauss curvature of nonparametric minimal surfaces over the two-slit plane $ℂ\setminus \left(\right(-\infty ,-1]\cup [1,\infty \left)\right)$ at points above the interval $(-1,1)$.

We consider typically real harmonic univalent functions in the unit disk 𝔻 whose range is the complex plane slit along infinite intervals on each of the lines x ± ib, b > 0. They are obtained via the shear construction of conformal mappings of 𝔻 onto the plane without two or four half-lines symmetric with respect to the real axis.
