We prove the existence of sequences ${\varrho ₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, ϱₙ → 0⁺, and ${zₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, |zₙ| = 1/2, such that for every α ∈ ℝ and for every meromorphic function G(z) on ℂ, there exists a meromorphic function $F\left(z\right)=F_{G,\alpha }\left(z\right)$ on ℂ such that $\varrho {ₙ}^{\alpha }F(nzₙ+n\varrho ₙ\zeta )$ converges to G(ζ) uniformly on compact subsets of ℂ in the spherical metric. As a result, we construct a family of functions meromorphic on the unit disk that is $Q_m$-normal for no m ≥ 1 and on which an extension of Zalcman’s Lemma holds.

The problem of uniqueness of an entire or a meromorphic function when it shares a value or a small function with its derivative became popular among the researchers after the work of Rubel and Yang (1977). Several authors extended the problem to higher order derivatives. Since a linear differential polynomial is a natural extension of a derivative, in the paper we study the uniqueness of a meromorphic function that shares one small function CM with a linear differential polynomial, and...

It is known that if $f$ is holomorphic in the open unit disc $𝔻$ of the complex plane and if, for some $c>0$, $\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le {1/(1-|z|}^2{)}^c$, $z\in 𝔻$, then $|f^{\text{'}}{\left(z\right)|\le 2(c+1)/(1-\left|z\right|}^2{)}^{c+1}$. We consider a meromorphic analogue of this result. Furthermore, we introduce and study the class of meromorphic Bloch-type functions that possess a nonzero simple pole in $𝔻$. In particular, we obtain bounds for the modulus of the Taylor coefficients of functions in this class.

The main objective of this paper is to give the specific forms of the meromorphic solutions of the nonlinear difference-differential equation $$f^n\left(z\right)+P_d(z,f)=p_1\left(z\right){\mathrm{e}}^{{\alpha }_1\left(z\right)}+p_2\left(z\right){\mathrm{e}}^{{\alpha }_2\left(z\right)},$$ where $P_d(z,f)$ is a difference-differential polynomial in $f\left(z\right)$ of degree $d\le n-1$ with small functions of $f\left(z\right)$ as its coefficients, $p_1$, $p_2$ are nonzero rational functions and ${\alpha }_1$, ${\alpha }_2$ are non-constant polynomials. More precisely, we find out the conditions for ensuring the existence of meromorphic solutions of the above equation.

Let $k$ be a nonnegative integer or infinity. For $a\in ℂ\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ we denote by $E_k(a;f)$ the set of all $a$-points of $f$ where an $a$-point of multiplicity $m$ is counted $m$ times if $m\le k$ and $k+1$ times if $m>k$. If $E_k(a;f)=E_k(a;g)$ then we say that $f$ and $g$ share the value $a$ with weight $k$. Using this idea of sharing values we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose certain nonlinear differential polynomials share a nonzero polynomial with finite weight. The results of the paper improve and generalize the related results due to...

Firstly we study the growth of meromorphic solutions of linear difference equation of the form$$A_k\left(z\right)f(z+c_k)+\cdots +A_1\left(z\right)f(z+c_1)+A_0\left(z\right)f\left(z\right)=F\left(z\right),$$ where $A_k\left(z\right),...,A_0\left(z\right)$ and $F\left(z\right)$ are meromorphic functions of finite logarithmic order, $c_i$ $(i=1,...,k,k\in \mathbb{N})$ are distinct nonzero complex constants. Secondly, we deal with the growth of solutions of differential-difference equation of the form $$\sum _{i=0}^n\sum _{j=0}^m{A}_{ij}\left(z\right)f^{\left(j\right)}(z+c_i)=F\left(z\right),$$ where $A_{ij}\left(z\right)$ $(i=0,1,...,n,j=0,1,...,m,n,m\in \mathbb{N})$ and $F\left(z\right)$ are meromorphic functions of finite logarithmic order, $c_i$ $(i=0,...,n)$ are distinct complex constants. We extend some previous results...

This paper deals with the finiteness problem of meromorphic funtions on an annulus sharing four values regardless of multiplicity. We prove that if three admissible meromorphic functions $f_1$, $f_2$, $f_3$ on an annulus $𝔸\left(R_0\right)$ share four distinct values regardless of multiplicity and have the of positive counting function, then $f_1=f_2$ or $f_2=f_3$ or $f_3=f_1$. This result deduces that there are at most two admissible meromorphic functions on an annulus sharing a value with multiplicity truncated to level $2$ and sharing...

With the idea of normal family we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions $f$ and $g$ when $f^n{\left(f^{\left(k\right)}\right)}^m-p$ and $g^n{\left(g^{\left(k\right)}\right)}^m-p$ share two values, where $p$ is any nonzero polynomial. The result of this paper significantly improves and generalizes the result due to A. Banerjee and S. Majumder (2018).

The authors introduce two new subclasses $F_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ and $G_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ of meromorphically multivalent functions. Distortion bounds and convolution properties for $F_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$, $G_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ and their subclasses with positive coefficients are obtained. Some inclusion relations for these function classes are also given.

Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function and $g\left(z\right)=f(z+c₁)+\cdots +f(z+c_k)-kf\left(z\right)$ and $g_k\left(z\right)=f(z+c₁)\cdots f(z+c_k)-f^k\left(z\right)$. A number of results are obtained concerning the exponents of convergence of the zeros of g(z), $g_k\left(z\right)$, g(z)/f(z), and $g_k\left(z\right)/f^k\left(z\right)$.

Let ${\overline{L}}_i\to X_i$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i=1,2$. Let $S_i$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on ${\overline{L}}_i$. We construct complex structures on $S=S_1\times S_2$ which we refer to as scalar, diagonal, and linear types. While scalar type structures always exist, the more general diagonal but non-scalar type structures are constructed assuming that ${\overline{L}}_i$ are equivariant ${\left({ℂ}^{*}\right)}^{n_i}$-bundles satisfying some additional conditions....

We obtain the basic analytic properties, i.e. meromorphic continuation, polar structure and bounds for the order of growth, of all the nonlinear twists with exponents $\le 1/d$ of the $L$-functions of any degree $d\ge 1$ in the extended Selberg class. In particular, this solves the resonance problem in all such cases.

Let $\varphi$ be a substitution of Pisot type on the alphabet $𝒜=\{1,2,...,d\}$; $\varphi$ satisfies theif for every $i,j\in 𝒜$, there are integers $k,n$ such that ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same $k$-th letter, and the prefixes of length $k-1$ of ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same image under the abelianization map. We prove that the strong coincidence condition is satisfied if $d=2$ and provide a partial result for $d\ge 2$.

Sia $K\subset \subset {ℝ}^n$ un compatto, $f\ge 0$ una funzione analitica all'intorno di $K$, ed $m$ la massima molteplicità in $K$ degli zeri di $f$; si prova che la potenza $f^{\lambda }$ ($\lambda \in ℂ$, $Re\lambda >\mathrm{—}\frac{1}{m}$) è integrabile in $K$. L'estensione meromorfa dell'applicazione $\lambda \to f^{\lambda }$ da $Re\lambda >0$ a tutto $ℂ$ (con valori in ${𝒟}^{\prime }(K)$ anziché in $L^1(K)$) era già stata provata in [1] e [2].

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\>2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.
