This paper studies a class of generalized complex cubic polynomials of the form p(z)=(z-1)(z-r_1)^k(z-r_2)^k where r_1 and r_2 lie on the unit circle and k is a natural number.  We completely characterize where the nontrivial critical points of p can lie, and to what extent they determine the polyno...
