Abstract:

Suppose R is a rational function with n poles all of which lie inside $\Gamma$, a closed Jordan curve. Lower bounds for the uniform norm of the difference $R - p$ on $\Gamma$, where p is any polynomial, are obtained (in terms of the norm of R on $\Gamma$). In some cases these bounds are independent of $\Gamma$ as well as R and p. Some related results are also given.
