[Abstract-pdf] [Abstract-ps] Polynomials $p$, satisfying the condition $p (z) \equiv z^n p (1/z)$, have been studied since well over thirty years. If $p$ is such a polynomial, then ${f(z) := p (\me^{{i} z})}$ is an entire function of exponential type $n$ which satisfies the relation ${f(z) \equiv \me^{\mi n z} f(-z)}$. Thus, practically any result about entire functions $f$ of exponential type, which satisfy the condition $f(z) \equiv \me^{\mi \tau z} f(-z)$, can be specialized to obtain a result about polynomials $p$ satisfying the condition $p (z) \equiv z^n p (1/z)$. In the present paper we obtain an extension of a result of Govil and Vetterlein, about the derivative of polynomials $p$ satisfying $p (z) \equiv z^n p (1/z)$, to entire functions $f$ of exponential type satisfying $f(z) \equiv \me^{\mi \tau z} f(-z)$. Keywords: Bernstein's inequality, entire functions, exponential type, uniformly almost periodic functions. MSC 2000: 30D15, 41A17, 42A05, 42A16, 42A75. [FullText-pdf (318 K)] [FullText-ps (548 K)]
