Extract

In this note new proofs will be given for two inequalities on polynomials due to N. I. Feldman [1] and A. 0. Gelfond [2], respectively; these inequalities are of importance in the theory of transcendental numbers. While the original proofs by the two authors are quite unconnected, we shall deduce both results from the same source, viz. from Jensen's integral formula in the theory of analytic functions.
