I am trying to find the original reference for a lemma attributed to Cohn (as in Schur-Cohn method):
Let $A(z)$ be a palindromic or skew-palindromic polynomial, and denote its derivative by $A'(z)$. Then $A(z)$ and $A'(z)$ have the same number of zeros outside the unit circle.
The lemma can be found at http://www2.ece.ohio-state.edu/~randy/publications/RLM_journal/J11.pdf, statement on p. 105, proof on p. 116, but I don't see a reference there. I presume that if I could find the historical papers on the Schur-Cohn method it would not be hard to find, but I am not having much luck with that so far.
(BTW, I am including the signal-analysis tag because this result seems to appear in the signal processing literature).
