On the zeros of a quaternionic polynomial: An extension of the Eneström-Kakeya theorem

Abstract

We present some results on the location of zeros of regular polynomials of a quaternionic variable. We derive new bounds of Eneström-Kakeya type for the zeros of these polynomials by virtue of a maximum modulus theorem and the structure of the zero sets of a regular product established in the newly developed theory of regular functions and polynomials of a quaternionic variable. Our results extend some classical results from complex to the quaternionic setting as well.
