For a polynomial $p(z)=c{\prod }_j(z-a_j)$ with $c\ne 0$, no polynomial root at zero, and $R>0$ different from every $|a_j|$, Jensen's formula gives the displayed expression. The polynomial roots are repeated according to their multiplicity of a zero: an exterior root contributes $\log |a_j|$, whereas an interior root contributes $\log R$.

For an explicit example, take the polynomialIts two simple zeros are $1/4$ and $-1/2$. The circle log-mean of a holomorphic function is thereforeAt $R=0.2$ the open disc contains no zeros of a function, at $R=0.4$ it contains $1/4$ only, and at $R=0.75$ it contains both. These three circles avoid the polynomial roots; the radii $1/4$ and $1/2$ are excluded from the displayed version.

The corresponding values of the circle log-mean of a holomorphic function and the circle geometric mean of a holomorphic function areFor example, at $R=0.4$ the contribution of the sole interior zero of a function is $\log (0.4/0.25)=\log (8/5)$; adding it to $\log (3/8)$ gives $\log (3/5)$. The second polynomial root still affects $f(0)$, but contributes no additional interior-zero term at this radius.
