Let and . Consider the set of all with and for all . We say that f satisfies the gap principle of order ℓ if as . We also define the gap order of to be the smallest positive integer ℓ such that satisfies the gap principle of order ℓ. If such ℓ does not exist, we say that does not satisfy the gap principle. In this article, we prove a conjecture by Chan, Choi and Lam that does not satisfy the gap principle if and only if is in the form of for some . Moreover, we completely determine the gap order of any polynomial. We will show that if is not in the form of , then has gap order 2 if is a quadratic polynomial or a power of a quadratic polynomial; and has gap order 1 otherwise.
