Title: On the length of lemniscates
(Submitted on 15 May 2008 (v1), last revised 27 Mar 2024 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We show that for a monic polynomial p of degree d, the length of the level set {z: |p(z)|=1} is at most 9.2 d, which improves an earlier estimate due to P. Borwein. For d=2 we show that the extremal level set is the Bernoullis' Lemniscate. One ingredient of our proofs is the fact that for an extremal polynomial this level set is connected.
