The fact that Rolle's theorem on critical points of a real differentiable function does not hold in general for analytic functions of a complex variable raises a natural question [7, p. 21] as to whether or not it can be generalized to polynomials, the simplest subclass of analytic functions. While attempting to answer this and other related problems in [4, 5, 6], Lucas proved that all the critical points of a nonconstant polynomial f lie in the convex hull of the set of zeros of f (see Theorem (6.1) in [7]). Walsh [12] has shown that Lucas’ theorem is equivalent to the following result [7, Theorem (6.2)], namely: Any convex circular region which contains all the zeros of a polynomial f also contains all the zeros of its derivative f′.
