Abstract
Sendov’s Conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p lie inside the closed unit disk then a closed unit disk centered at each of its zeros contains a critical point of p . In this paper, we show that the Sendov’s Conjecture holds for a polynomial if all its zeros lie on a line or a circle inside the unit disk.
